Adjusting...

Well, It's been 13 days since Jarod left. We are finding our routine again and things are running smooth. I even went to the gym! (it's been too long and I was SO sore for 3 days!)

Aiden had 4 days off school for Labor Day weekend. During that time it was rough because all of our company was gone and we had no reason to get up and going. We didn't get dressed until noon every day. I didn't have much motivation. Now, with Aiden back in school, we get up and go in the morning and I get things done a lot faster. Still struggling with restless sleep and daily headaches but it's not slowing me down much.

The boys are doing well. Good days and bad just like everyone. Micah has been whining a lot the past 2 days and wanting to be held. Aiden is sensitive and cries easily but he's doing better and not getting in trouble at school. He's also a huge help around the house. He has more chores when Jarod's away.

I've gone right to bed every night after I put the boys to bed. I've been SO tired! Tonight I stayed up to watch a little TV (since I don't watch it during the day) and catch up online. I started to feel some loneliness thinking about Jarod and how I wished he could be sitting next to me.

He's been able to call me every couple days. It's so great to hear his voice! He's finally getting adjusted to the time change and trying to get in to his own routine. So far it doesn't look like we'll be able to use the webcam. Internet is too slow out there. But, he can occasionally send an email which is always a nice surprise!

It's amazing how much you miss someone when they're gone. It makes me think back to when he was here and if I showed him how much I love and appreciate him. I guess my point is to appreciate what you have while you still have it!

I miss him so much! About 25 more weeks to go!

Thanks for reading!
