Well...

My Aunt Ruthie said to Blog again...so I am! ;-) Heart! I love blogging...sometimes I feel like it becomes repetative with Facebook being the priority...but I do love putting a big paragraph (of sorts) together as opposed to a one liner! :-) Took my van into the body shop today to get its boo-boo fixed. For those of you that don't know, I backed into Bob's Jeep a few weeks ago and did so much damage that the entire back hatch has to be replaced. :-( So I had to claim it on insurance since the cost was so high and also drop it off for about 4 days...so I am in a rental van that only has the sliding door on the one side so I am appreciating my van more now that it is gone. I'm hoping it looks like new when they are done with it! :-( I still question why Bob decided to park behind my garage door that day...he NEVER parks there and I was backing out mind-numbingly and just nudged right into his vehicle...ugh! Bob wasn't mad and didn't even react...he just shrugged his shoulders and went about his way...to him it is a "thing" and no one was hurt so life goes on! It's true...just stinks it cost so much to fix! Oh well... I'm still babysitting part time and I don't mind it. The girls I watch are so good that I hardly have to do anything extra...feeding them and making sure the tattle-tales aren't frequent! They do make for long days as I watch them for 12+ hours...but it's only part time so it's not that big of a deal! And the extra cash is nice! Looking forward to Easter and getting out of the house for a bit...the boys and I are getting a bit stir crazy with Bob on night shift for this outage. The hours are long and the boys CRAVE his attention whenever he is in the room...it's really sad. :-( We all miss him! Hopefully it will be over soon. But there is at least another month to go! ;-( Hope everyone is doing well! I, along with Ruthie, miss reading all the blogs! Hope to hear from you all soon!!

Chugging along...

Not much new has been happening around here...Bob is still working outage on night shift and has been on nights since March 8...so one full month as of today. He still has at least one more month to go. They are only allowed to work a maximum of 60 days on this schedule (4 nights on, 1 night off)...so it will eventually come to an end. Love the paychecks but the boys and I really miss him. Even on his "night off" we ony get to see him for the evening from about 4:30pm until boys go to bed, etc...so it's not MUCH time but it's better than nothing! ;-) Last night was Bob's night off and he took the boys to Emporia to run an errand and they had a blast going on a "boys only" trip! I had my Turbo class so I stayed home...they came home with some new sandbox toys that they are just ITCHING to try out. Once Camden wakes up, we will head outside on this gorgeously sunny day to give them a whirl! ;-) I've been keeping the boys and I busy with lots and lots of playdates at the rec center or park almost everyday! They love it and I do too! It's social time for me and for the kids! It's a win-win! Next week I will be babysitting more than I usually do so it will go by a lot faster! Anyway, not much else to report. So off for now...
