Dean is currently working in Ohio, I mean at this very moment, working. he says they will probably work til 2 or 3 am to get things done for tomorrow so that the next step can happen w/ the computers being set up!  nothing like jumping into work I suppose!
before taking him to the airport today and talking w/ the realtor about what to do about our fridge dilemma, we went and bought a new one. it’s being delivered tomorrow afternoon.  I didnt think about not having cold juice or milk for the kids this evening.  they had hot dogs for dinner, but they ate them all and it’s 10 pm and I still havent had dinner. I was thinking I’d have a bowl of cereal, then was reminded we have no milk. Caleb asked for juice and I told him it’s warm so he asked for ice, I had to remind him we dont have any. I had to throw out all of the groceries I had just stocked up on on Saturday and Sunday.  so now we have nothing to eat. I think I’ll make some easy mac for myself before heading to bed. I think Bo and I will eat out tomorrow and praying that I can have the new fridge up and running and filled for dinner time, or at least for the next day!!  thank goodness Caleb can buy lunch at school!
the kids did suprisingly well at bedtime, caleb tried to convince me that he wanted to sleep in my room but I wouldnt give in.  I knew Caleb would have the hardest time w/ Dean gone but so far today has been good, but I’ve kept him busy and happy, which makes for a very tired momma. I just finished cleaning house as best I could for now, so now maybe I can eat something and head to watch some shows we tivo’d.  if I can stay awake long enough. day 1 (well 1/2 day) without dean, going well…..will be much better with a fridge full of cold food and drinks….I am realizing how spoiled we are!!  I would love some cold soda or juice right now, guess I’ll settle for cold tap water..mmmmm…..I am sure there’s tons of lessons to be learned this week, without Dean and without refrigerated food and drinks.  Maybe I was taking things for granted that I shouldnt…but come on….a fridge!! really…did I need to learn that lesson right now?? ok…as Dean said, not everything is a “sign” or “message” but I still doubt it’s coincidence that everything always goes crazy at the McKenzie home all at once. I am grateful though that currently all 3 boys are sleeping and the house is mostly clean.  what more could I really ask for…other than for my sweetheart to be here w/ me enjoying the quiet evening…I miss you honey!!
