Wow, so I don't often really "blog" much. But every now and then, I get a whim. Today is one of those days. The kind where you feel like talking, whether there's someone there to listen or not.
I'll start with a "Happy 32nd Birthday" to the love of my life. Jeremy's b-day is tomorrow, May 14th. I'm not always very thankful for inlaws, but today I am, because without them, I wouldn't have him...and he is the biggest blessing in my life. He's my earthly "strong tower", and I don't know where I would be without him. I had planned to invite a few friends to dinner on Friday night, then realized Samuel had tball practice until 630, and it would be too late for a trip to Montgomery, so I rescheduled with them all for Saturday. Then, yesterday, Jeremy called me at work to tell me that he would be leaving for "clean-up" duty with the Forestry Commission in Mobile for 3 weeks...on Saturday morning. Oh well, so I told him what I had been planning and commented that I guessed it would be just us & the boys. I get a "that's all I wanted to start with anyhow" from him. Such a sweet fella! I think I'll keep him. I'm NOT happy about him leaving, though. I always hate it when he goes off for extended periods. He'll miss tons of tball, and Samuel's Kindergarten graduation, and Amos's graduation. I hate doing it all alone..I don't know how all you single moms survive! I hate feeding the dogs, too. And, I am very thankful that Samuel is big enough to help out with those chores now!
I'm also super sad that my baby is graduating from kindergarten, but not nearly as sad as I am about Amos graduating from high school! I CANNOT be that old. He was my first "baby", since he came along when I was in the 5th grade. I remember being with his mom the day she went to the OB for the first time, and told me in the elevator leaving I would be an AUNT. He still makes my heart smile..I love that KID.
I should quit rambling and get back to work. Thanks for the ears!

My husband is gone a lot and misses a lot, too. We are thankful for his work, but it sure is hard. My hat is off to all the single mama's, too. I don't know how they do it!
I am sad he will miss those graduations. That is hard. Hang in there. I will be praying for you.
