Confession

Confession time - I really like my husband.  Shocking, I know.  But what I mean is that I genuinely enjoy being with him.  I hate all this time we are spending apart instead of as a family.  He really is my best friend, and when he isn't here our world is off.  It's hard to explain, but when he left today all of us felt really upset.  Carter insisted that he was going to dig a cable with pipes that would go to Daddy's hell-tel room (seriously both of the older kids call it a hell-tel.)  Then we could go through the cables and pipes and visit him every day.  Whenever Ava is upset she has a tendency to have accidents and act out to get attention, which she definetely did this afternoon.  That leaves poor, poor baby Doc.  When he saw Daddy bringing his suitcases down he just erupted.  After Daddy left I was able to calm him down.  But every so often he would crawl over to the door and just start sobbing.  WE MISS YOU DADDY!

By the way, single moms are now my heroes.  Today while I was putting the baby to bed, Ava put Hello Kitty stickers all over the television downstairs.  Don't worry Mike, they all came off with no ill effects to the television.  We are all anxious to be together as a family again!
