I am in Illinois right now -- just Jeb and I. Kelley offered to watch the kids for us at the last minute. Jeb REALLY wants me to take Kelley on her offer. He wants to have a one-on-one time with me finally and have a 'sort of' vacation-honeymoon (except on business) :-p with me. So far it has been good. I am missing the kids SO MUCH though, but I also know we both need this (even though Jeb says, I won't admit it). I have stayed in our room all day today (while Jeb was at work), watching HGTV Start at Home channel learning about tips on house selling and how to make your house "saleable". I can watch that channel/show all day and never get tired of it. I keep thinking on ways and things to update my house and make it look more inviting and cozy. I think it needs some "up-lift". Also, today has been such a rainy day that I didn't feel like going out and walking to the nearby stores. Maybe I will tomorrow, though... Well, I do need to do some contract work also... I am trying to populate and transfer a website into a new site, so I am transferring content, making sure the content layout looks nice, check and update links / images /documents, and pretty much everything from the old site needs to be on the new site.
Yesterday, we havent't been gone for half a day yet and Jeb gets me freaked out already. Kelley called to return our call earlier to check up on the kids. When Jeb took the call he had such a serious face and then just blurted out, "Jordan broke his finger". We were having dinner and I just gasped and almost choked on my food. He started laughing because he saw that I was starting to cry. If he didn't say that he was joking and was laughing, I was so ready to grab my purse and coat, and head out the door and make the 3-hour drive home RIGHT away. That was a good scare. Up to now, he still chuckles at my expression and reaction at his comment.
Anyway, the kids are doing well according to Kelley. Aubrey and Jordan actually slept through the night for her and was pretty easy to put to sleep. I am so glad, as this is one of my worries, that the kids would miss me and won't sleep. I really hope and pray that they will continue to do well for Kelley.
Today is Jeb's mom, Alice's birthday. Happy Birthday, Momma.
