My Husband's Back

Wednesday Brooks had to go to Missouri to get his car fixed by someone we trust. We took it to a place here and after spending a thousand dollars with no change we decided to try someone else! I was unable to go with him because of my new job. I'm glad I have a job but I hated not being able to go.

I'm okay being by myself until it's time to go to bed. That's the hardest part. One night I had a really hard time sleeping and so I waited until I was sleepy enough just to fall right asleep. The second I turned off the TV, I couldn't go to sleep. I wound up having to fall asleep with the TV on which I never do.

Brooks is so sweet. He knows I have a hard time sleeping w/o him and so to give me company, he put a pillow from the guest room in his pillow's place and put Malcomb & Eyore (two sentimental stuff animals) on the bed. It was really sweet. He does little stuff like that and it just makes me melt.

He came back yesterday with a car full of stuff from his home - childhood stuff - lots of leggos - gobs of leggos to be exact and lots of books. Our children are going to have a hard time NOT reading around here.

I must admit that it was nice to have an evening to myself but after that the fun was over. I wanted him home. I'm so glad he's home!!

Distance really does make the heart grow fonder.

I have a hard time falling asleep if Ken's not here too! You know what helps with that? Getting a pet! :-)
