Yes, I know, it has been quite a while since I last blogged, but for very good reason. What time I did have available here lately to blog, I had been using to game plan a strategy for black Friday! My mother and I hit the shopping trail Thursday evening at 8:30, and returned back at 9 on Friday morning. I don't think I could have gone another minute. I was completely zonked! We did however get some incredible deals and got a huge chunk marked off our lists! Yay for us!!
Thanksgiving was filled with many blessings. Our weekend started with an engagement party for Jeremy's cousin. Then a day full of food and laughter on Thursday at Mimi's house. Black Friday shopping then game, then the day of recuperating was what happened for the remainder of the day. My husband, was by far, AMAZING! He kept the girls while I shopped but as I got home, I really, so badly, just wanted to sleep. My husband let me sleep, well Jentri slept with me, while he watched Jaylee. He then woke me up for lunch. I cleaned the mess, got Jentri and went BACK to bed...woke back up about 5:30 (because he woke me up questioning if I was going to sleep all day) and so I just got up and moved to the couch and slept some more! All the while he was playing Betty Crocker and making homemade dough for some jalapeno cheddar kolaches! We then ate supper, cleaned that mess up, watched Elf on the Shelf with Jaylee. This is a new tradition we are starting this year! Then we all got the dough back out, kneaded it and started rolling it out. Jaylee had a BLAST! She had already taken a bath prior to this activity, but we ended back up in the tub afterwards. She had flour from head to toe and all over her face/hair...it was caked into her hair! I loved every minute of it! Then Saturday was another day of Thanksgiving with the Lowe Family....then my husband and I attended the local Brazos Stone dance afterwards. THANK YOU MOM FOR ALLOWING US TO HAVE A DATE! We don't ever get an OFFER extended to us to keep our kids that allow us to do anything by ourselves anymore, so THANK YOU MOM, you are truly a sweet, giving, mother who thinks about not only our kids, but our marriage and how important that is from time to time!
Sunday was quite the lazy day. Got up and made pies for my mother's birthday, took the girls and myself to church while Jeremy slept. He was not feeling too well....strep throat/flu perhaps!? Anyways..... he was pretty crummy all day yesterday....but seemed to be better yesterday evening! Then, the time came....Jeremy began to pack his pickup and the meltdown began. I knew it.....we got spoiled to having him for 4 days and 4 nights with us......and Jaylee knew immediately as he began to load his pickup what was about to happen. She held onto me tightly and bawled saying numerous times "I want my Daddy, I don't want him to leave".... Jeremy came back in.... and well....you can imagine the heartbreak for him. He ended up just staying last night and getting up at 2:30 to leave. Poor guy! I can't imagine having to drive at 2:30 then having to put in a full day after that. Which by the way, he has been at this job now for ONE YEAR as of this weekend! Can you believe that!?!? YAY! Here comes the 4 weeks PAID vacation! Here comes the Christmas bonus!!! And sadly, this lifestyle.....continues.....but I will look on the positive and know that "This too Shall Pass", " This is not forever" and "I am blessed that we are both happy, healthy, and employed!"
