It's FRIDAY! Finally

So today is a happy but sad day!

One its Friday which is always a cause for celebration! We made it through another week!
Two we are going home today! We have been away from home going on two weeks now. We popped into the apartment for a few days last weekend on our way to Nashville and then back to Savannah twice, but other than that we have been in a hotel for two weeks, so it will be nice to have all of Charlotte's toys, her cribs, my huge bed with comfortable pillows and my television.

It is a sad day though because Scott doesn't get to stay home with us. He has to remain in Savannah and work tomorrow and Sunday and Monday. Then Tuesday we are headed to Virginia for a quick drop off before running back home to be with my family for Thanksgiving. But it gets worse.... Scott has to leave Thanksgiving night to be back at work Friday. So we get him part of Thanksgiving, which is Charlotte's first Thanksgiving, but not all of it. It's pretty upsetting to me, but I know Charlotte won't remember it at all.

Being a trucker's wife is difficult but I have it easy. I get to see my husband a lot, and sometimes I even get to travel with him. I couldn't imagine being without Scott for a month at a time, or even three months at a time like many truckers wives around the nation. I look up to them for strength and patience and have it so much easier than them, because I get to see my husband almost every weekend and all holidays, even if only for part of the day. I could't imagine it any other way.

I get pretty upset by all the work, but we have bills, need food, and Charlotte needs clothes the more she grows so I know I have to suck it up and be okay with it because it is necessary. I feel like it should be okay to be upset though, only if its for a little bit. Urgh. I hate sharing my husband with so many other people, but at the same time I love his job because it is so much better than any other situation. We are very blessed with our current situation.

Charlotte is finally over whatever bug she had, and other than a cough occassionally she is a bright, bubbly cute little girl who loves to play outside and stroll in her stroller. I cannot wait to see her reaction to seeing Mimi this weekend. A two week reunion is going to be epic.
Time to pack up the computer and wait for Scott to get back so we can head out.
Have a great Friday everyone! And stay warm in this ridiculous weather! :)

XOXO

Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day to all! It's been a wonderful family weekend! Unfortunately our Memorial Day ended early, since Scott is now headed to work. He has to be in Miami, 7 am tomorrow! Yuck. Luckily Monday is almost over and we only have to make it until Friday until we see him again! Trying to stay positive and look at it as a good thing, not a bad. It is hard to see him leave, but I know he has to go to work. Charlotte was sad but luckily nap time was soon after he left so she transitioned into sleep fine. She will be upset when she gets up in a few but lots of cuddles, cartoons and playing until bed time will keep her preoccupied. We are headed to the beach this weekend, and then staying down there for the week while Scott works, but we will all be together and Mommy and Charlotte will be looking at houses while Daddy works so we will stay occupied with that and lots of pool time! Cannot wait until this week is over. May is almost over, then June is here! Cannot believe that! ...

Show and Tell Tuesday: School Photos

Happy Tuesday! Today I am joining Andrea for Show and Tell Tuesday's and today we are showing Worst School Pictures! I have a combination of good and bad school pictures just to mix it up a little bit!  Little baby Cat right before Pre-K!  Back in 2005, I was in middle school and going through a short hair and converse phase where I wore a lot of black and tried to fit in with a certain group of people! I was such a goof And Throwing it back to 2004! Aren't I just cute?!  Senior Year of High School  Senior Year pictures! I had ridiculously long hair that didn't like to cooperate for pictures! Then I chopped all of my hair off before going off to college Kept it short second year of college And finally grew it out and even colored it, I was in a rebellious stage it seemed! Those are my worst and best school pictures! I don't have too many pictures from my school days just because everything was thrown away when I lef...

Life Lately!

Happy Monday! Its a little life lately post to catch up on our past week! I started back to school for my Masters, Scott started his senior year of undergrad and life has gone crazy!  This little is working on sitting up, and finding all of his toys that he didn't know he had until he became mobile. He isn't crawling but he is really good at rolling himself around the place!  With sister in school all day these two are becoming best friends! I'll catch Skyler pulling R's hair, but I will also catch them laughing and playing and reading together! It's the sweetest little bond!  He enjoyed rolling himself underneath his crib a lot, all while I was sitting in the room with him! He loves to explore, even when it means momma has to rescue him from under the bed :P Afternoon cartons, goldfish and playing with toys We have been reading lots of books lately, we are going to the library this week to get some books but Ri has enjoyed reading wha...
