Happy Anniversary a few days late!

This week, on Tuesday, marked our 13th wedding anniversary. I can't believe it. Where has the time gone. We have actually been together 18 yrs. Tom and I have had a lot of challenges face us in our life and I am happy to say that I am more in love with him now than I was in the beginning. Going thru things like IVF, adoption, businesses, although very hard and frustrating, if you are strong it will only bring you closer together and make your love stronger. I feel we can get through anything that comes our way. My husband loves me for me and all my faults! LOL

Last night I made a candlelit dinner for him and we enjoyed an evening by ourselves. My MIL took Jack for the night. It was a much needed night since I kinda messed up the Indy trip. It was much nicer to be at home. We are home bodies and like it that way. We are going to enjoy a nice quiet morning and then go get Jack around lunch.

Tom has been working so hard lately on a project. It has really been going on since the fall and I am so sick of talking about "the project" It should be coming to an end this week and I feel like he will be able to relax a bit more. I told him he has to take a vacation in the next few weeks. Jack's spring break is the 23rd so I am hoping he can get that.

Home from Indy a little early

Well the last few weeks, as I mentioned, I have been super busy getting ready for this trade show. Plus we have been moving the warehouse, Tom has been working non-stop and sales are picking up again. I have been completely on edge and stressed out. A couple of nights I didn't sleep much so I was kinda messed up before we left. I don't do well when I don't sleep. I was however looking forward to spending 3 nights alone with my husband. Who wouldn't want that? Well things didn't quite turn out the way we had hoped. Friday night Tom drove me home 3 hrs and turned around picked up his cousin and drove right back...into snow no less. I am officially a nutcase. Lets jut say that all the stress from the week got to me to the point that I was sick. My stomach was so bad and I was full of anxiety that the thought of staying there another 2 days just made me nuts. I really would have stayed and sucked it up but my husband knows me and I was just creating more stress on him. He knew the next few days would have been rough. I know this seems nuts, but if you knew more of my history with things it would make more sense.

Anyway.... yesterday while sitting at home, feeling fine by the way, I felt embarrassed, ashamed and just a weak person. I hated it that I wasn't there with him. This is our business and I needed to be there. There was so much more I wanted to see at the show too. It was best that I came home. I am very lucky that I have such a wonderful husband that gets me. We missed our Valentines day together. Our 13th wedding anniversary is on Tuesday. I have already asked his mom to take Jack on Sat for a sleepover. I need to make it up to him big time!!

Jack was very happy to see me in the morning. My sister had planned to take him to see Hotel for Dogs yesterday so she still did that. He really wanted to go. So I had some time to myself. I ended up catching up on some of my shows last night.

Why is it that you can't get your kids up for school during the week but on the weekends they come bounding in your room super early when all you want to do is sleep. It never fails on the weekends. Jack will sleep till 8-8:30 all the time. I have to wake him at 7:45 for school days. But there is always one weekend day that he wakes up at 7-7:15...what is it??

Not around

I haven't been able to post as I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off. Tom and I are going to a trade show in Indianapolis on Thursday for 3 days and have just been so busy trying to get ready for it. Sales have picked up too. Plus we are also trying to get the new warehouse all up and running.

So I am sorry for being a bad blogger. I really thought I would be better this winter, but find it really hard.

Jack is going to have a blast with his MiMi, Grandma and Auntie Debi spoiling him for 4 days. I am sure I am in for it next week after we get back. They always seem to punish you some how!
