anxiously awaiting...

Until approximately December 16th, my family's husband/daddy time is very sparse. What with the mere 21 credits , full time work as a construction manager, a church calling, BYU games, and manly lawn mowing, horse feeding, and light bulb changing responsibilities around the home... there is just not that much time left. But we still manage to squeeze in our family time wherever possible. Mostly that is spent on the weekends.
This week and this weekend Brian has been and will be at a work conference thingy in lovely Arizona. So, the kids and I are on our own.

There are a few downsides to having Brian gone:

1. I feel very creepy and strange laughing out loud to the Office all by myself.
2. The kids expect party central 24-7.
3. No one has a worse day than me to make me feel much better than my little situation.
4. No one comes home at night to relay funny daily mishaps like his headlight randomly flying off on the freeway then his car conveniently overheating on his way to a midterm.

But it's not all bad... There is a bright side; like:

1. No cooking for me! This is especially appreciated right now as I am in the middle of the every-smell-makes-me-vomit stage in my pregnancy.
2. A smaller, much quieter bed buddy. (i.e. Hailey doesn't snore near as loud)
3. Seeing how much the kids miss him.
4. Getting the chance to leave him really dorky messages on his cell in the hopes that he will listen to them and laugh out loud at a really inappropriate time.
5. Knowing he's getting a vacation from a sick and complaining wife!!

But with all that said, we can't wait until Sunday!
