This is it!!! The week we move. It is the last week of school for my two boys, both of them have birthdays (Happy Birthday Court and Tate!) I have to meet with the couple that is house sitting for us. We are going to the Planetarium. I planned out options for each day of driving, full of treats, car activities, and movies to watch. I will need to have every stick of clothing washed, folded and put away, along with every piece of linen. My house cleaned. Bills paid. Run to the bank. And I need to be prepared for Dahlia with bottles and diapers.
I have missed Gentry. I get frustrated so easily at him, I wish I didn't. I try to not let it show but I have NEVER been good at covering my emotions. I think being away is what is hard on me. He has never been a big phone conversationalist (I may have just made that word up) and he is eat, sleeping, dreaming about work so we don't talk about anything else. I think of myself as fairly independent, but with five kids I can't just do something on my own, I have to haul everyone with me and I find myself longing for my partner.
I am already missing my mom and dad, ward, house, BED, yard and life back home but also looking foreword to the adventure that lies ahead.
If anyone lives along I-80 and is dying to see me and my gaggle of kids, drop me a line. I would love to have something to do along the way.

If I lived along I-80 I would totally put you all up for a night! I can't even imagine how hard it must be to juggle everything by yourself while your husband is away... I admire you for making it work! And good luck on that long road trip... just remember it won't last forever! :)
Ahhh your going away for the summer AGAIN? Geez i bet your stoked not to be a single mom for awhile. Raodtrips are fun but only with back-up, good luck with that..We'll miss you around here!
I know EXACTLY how you feel, sister friend. You are a strong lady. Thanks for your sweet comments.
