What to Write About...

What to write about…

Everything here is going pretty good. It is too freaking cold. I hate cold weather. I guess I should not complain, it is certainly not as bad as some of my friends up north.

Sheldon’s new job has him really busy these days. Some days we are in the bed before he gets home. This has been hard on the kids. Funny thing is, they are use to him being gone for night shifts when he was on the street, but I guess then they knew he was working and would not be home that night, now they wait for him and he doesn’t come.

It has been an adjustment for me as well. We don’t talk much on the phone during the day, even before. But when I do call him, usually cause I need him, he almost always says, “in the middle of something, call you back later”. Later never seems to come. It is frustrating but understandable.

The kids are doing well. Mackenzie is cracking me up, her vocabulary has exploded lately. She is talking like she is a literature teacher. I can’t seem to think of an example right now, but it is the cutest thing. She has also learned all the words to Taylor Swift’s song, Love Story. There are a couple of words that are not quite what the song says, which makes it funny, but none the less, she is pretty freaking cute singing it.

Chase is doing well. He has been working hard tying up the end of this nine weeks at school. I was talking to his English teacher recently, he was telling me some things about Chase that of course I already knew, but it was great to hear. He said things like Chase was the sweetest child, he was a very hard worker, he had a big heart, he was well liked, he loved his parents very much, and his father was a hero to him, he was very proud of his dad’s profession…and on and on.

Guess my crowd is doing pretty good.

I am glad that things are going well, Michelle. I can so relate to the work woes... but for me it has always been that way. It must be really hard to have things sudenly change like that. Hang in there and I hope that the cold weather blows by soon, for both of us!

ETA- my word verification is "upforki" which I found funny enough to need to mention it. ;OP

Love it. Wish I could hear Mac sing "Love Story." I love that song! And yay for Chase. Someday I'll meet those two!
