Adam's been working in DC since the middle of November. He's been home for all of the holidays and he comes home on the weekends, but it's crazy having him gone so much. It feels surreal when he's actually here. He'll be gone again in March for a school, so that will stink, too.

It really is getting to me tonight. Because the kids are sick. Puking sick. Now, Adam doesn't handle puke. Can't be around it, can't see it, can't hear it, can't smell it....it all makes him puke, too. Or that's his excuse. But he can wrangle the baby while our four year old is heaving into the toilet so Jax isn't standing next to him peering into the potty to see what's going on. He can start laundry to clean the vomit out of blankets. He can fix little cups of sprite with bendy straws. But he's not here. I don't mind doing all of the above. It's the gross stuff that gets to me. So I get all the gross stuff and all the not so gross stuff. But that's what Moms do, so it's ok. I'm just tired. :)

About me. While I haven't been too sick since my treatment started, I've had a few colds here and there. Right now is one of those heres. I'm a coughing maniac and my nose is competing in a marathon with as much as it's running. I can't complain and I won't. I'm just a little under the weather and really tired. Just makes it a little harder to handle everything with Adam gone.

Tomorrow and this weekend seem to be pretty void of anything fun. I'm sure it will remain that way with pukey kids and a tired mommy. We have tonnnns of laundry to do and Christmas decorations to take down so I'm sure that will be on our agenda. We're still trying to decide if moving is a good idea and it's hard because we can't seem to decide on an answer. Hopefully, God will give us a better idea of what to do soon. :)
