Mom and Tim Week

Tim was gone all weekend with friends.  Last night, I got to see him but not talk to him because he was on the phone all night long.  That's fine - I told him before I went to bed that all week during the day will be "Mom and Tim Time" - and he was good with that, good!  So, I get him during the day and he can hang with his buddies in the afternoon and evening - a compromise I can live with.

He's heading to the hotel this coming Monday night, staying there all night, then flying to San Diego Tuesday sometime.  But Monday won't be the last time I get to see him - it'll be Tuesday morning.  We can go over to the MEPS and see him swear in - reaffirming to everyone that he is now definitely governement property - before heading to the airport.  So, Monday won't be so bad - it'll probably be Tuesday.  But for now, I'm good!  I get my time with him that I love.

This morning we had about 5-6 inches of snow when we woke up so there was no school - much to my daughter's dismay (ha!).  So, instead of a Mom-Tim Day, it has turned into the three of us - which is really great too.  I made egg and cheese sandwiches for them and then broke out the mini donut maker my dad got me for Christmas and made homemade donuts which was fun.  Just hanging out in the kitchen - talking to them, but I also really love to listen to them talk.  Sometimes when we're in the car or wherever, I just listen to them speak to each other.  Sometimes it's good stuff - sometimes, it's not.  But it's nice for mom to "be still" and let them have their talk time too.

Before she woke up this morning, Tim and I were sitting at the kitchen table and drinking coffee talking about his excitement and nervousness.  It's funny because all of these "plans" he's making (like how he wants his shaving regimen to go) and all these expectations are going to be a total 180 of what's REALLY going to go on!  And it makes me smile and I say to him - well, I guess you're going to soon find out! ☺

With all the things and regular life crap that's going to go on this week, the next few days are going to just fly by - FLY BY!  Can I do something to just slow it a little?  Not stop it - just slow it - like make a day be 48 hours rather than 24?  I know, not possible.  So, we will just enjoy the time we have and have a good time doing it.

Until next time...
