Day 2

Last night was sleepless. I missed Cliff. I was hot, I was cold, the dog was barking, but mostly I just missed Cliff and I was worried about him traveling. Yesterday, I mentioned that all of his flights had been delayed. They went on to be further delayed and then his plane broke. He finally made it to Philly in the wee hours of the morning and then he had to rent a car and drive into New Jersey. He arrived just 2 hours before his class started. Poor guy was obviously exhausted but pushed through, went to class, and then took a 2 hour nap on his lunch break. I talked to him for a short while after class and he was getting ready to go to sleep for the night. I feel much less stressed knowing he is safe and sound right now.

Today was easier since there were no goodbyes looming. We got snow last night and one of the major roads I drive on to take the kids to school was a solid sheet of ice. They were *almost* late, but we managed to make it just in time. Maeli and I did a Target run and then came home and napped. I could get used to this whole napping thing haha.

Our routine contined to go pretty well today. Dinner was courtesy of Stouffer's! Mac and cheese with some ham, and then strawberries for dessert. Homework was done before the t.v. was turned on. The kids went to bed easily. I got a lot of housework done and everything is ready for tomorrow which always relaxes me. Sure I forgot to set the trash on the curb, there is a pile of laundry that needs to be folded in the rocking chair, another growing pile of dirty laundry in the laundry room floor, and well let's not even get started on the messiness of the bedrooms upstairs, but hey those things are all hidden so they don't count right?

This blog could get pretty mundane and I apologize for that. I'm mostly writing it because it's a good release for me and a good way for my family and my husband to see that I'm surviving. I have some things coming up this week to keep me busy. Coffee with a friend in the morning and grocery shopping and a pedi on Friday with another friend. All in all it's been a decent day, I'm just hoping sleep comes much easier tonight.
