My life right now feels like one giant run on sentence. For the last month Nate has been working many late nights and then coming home to work on the RC cars with the boys. The sunroom is in a constant disarray due to the never ending maintenance those cars need. I would take a picture but the camera has not been charged. Nate left this morning at 7:30 so today will be like all the others. The weather has been uncooperative for putting me in a good spring mood, cold and rainy isn't ideal for long 14 hour days alone. I actually love rainy days, as long as it doesn't rain on Saturday. Even though I sound like I am gripping, I'm not. Surprisingly I am doing rather well with this stretch of boredom that I am encountering. Last night I was pretty tense because the boys had spent a good bit of the afternoon arguing and not obeying quickly. It is time to get out the notebooks again. I already have their pencils on the counter for any infractions that happen today.
Luke and Evan have made friends with a neighbor girl. She is 8 almost nine, she came down last week looking for her dog and when she saw the GIANT leaf pile Luke had raked up to jump in, she ran home to get permission to join in the fun. Since then we have seen her a couple of more times and Luke and Evan have been to her yard to jump on the trampoline. I think she is a tomboy because she is always wearing really long shorts and a baseball cap.
The boys just came racing down the stairs. It begins again.

I so know what you mean. I rarely ever see Paul during any daylight hours throughout the week and then he usually works on Saturday so that he can work alone without interruptions. Sometimes on Saturday I'll just go to the shop and watch him work, but that's not the same as spending time together. Everybody loves it but me. I feel like I never get a weekend. He told me a week ago that he is going to start coming home at 3 each afternoon so he can work on the weekend and not feel bad for it. It hasn't happened yet, but at least that's a step toward breaking his workaholism. Today he's not working because we have tickets to the UGA game, but now it's rainy and cold. That means I can't take the baby so she and I will just go to te mall. I'm very thankful that we have the opportunity to get out of town, but we're still not all together. I love that he has his own business and I know that this comes with the territory, but sometimes I need grace for the monotony. My weeks get really long. I know you're not really comlaining and neither am I.
Have a great day, Catrina. Try and stay dry.
I'll trade you.... not only are we dealing with the same cool, rainy weather...but we have the crud too! Jack has gone to work all but one night....but basically, it's been me, the bathroom, and the day bed in the TV room all week. (Jack gets the bedroom since he sleeps during the day!) I REALLY want a change of pace!
Good luck with the boys!
Dear Catrina,
I know how you feel about the never ending day. : )
Sometimes I am like WHAT it is only 4 o'clock I still have 4 hours left until bed time. AAAHHHH!!! Well of course things aren't that bad either but those long days can be quite daunting. Hang in there!
Love,
Ash
