It's officially been a week since Mick left. It seems to be getting easier on all of us. Michayla is doing good, she talks and texts Mick all the time, and I have been giving her melatonin to help her sleep at night. It seems to work well because then she isn't laying in her bed for a while waiting to fall asleep thinking about missing her daddy.
Clay got home Sat afternoon, having been gone all week at camp he came home to learning just how often we talk to dad on the phone. Mick calls a lot. He isn't allowed to talk during the day when he is at work, so we don't hear from him until 5 o'clock our time (which is 4 his time) but he then talks to everyone and will then call 2 or 3 other times before going to bed.
This week we are going to go see him. They are changing the local crews with some new crews so he will have this Fri & Sat off. We had originally planned to leave next Mon and stay a week but Mick would have had to work the whole time, so now we will be able to spend Thur afternoon and the rest of the weekend exploring California.. We have never been to CA, so we are all excited to see what lies ahead..
I went on a cleaning spree this weekend. I cleaned out our closet, and I mean cleaned out. Got rid of old clothes that both Mick and I had and organized everything. It is so nice to have a clean closet to actually walk around in. ;) Then I proceeded to clean my bedroom, re-arrange it, clean the bathroom and shower.. I then cleaned the rest of the house, dusted everything including my kitchen table and chairs. I still need to mop the kitchen and entry way but man does it feel nice to walk into a really clean house! I sent pictures of the closet to Mick and he was wondering why I was cleaning so much.. Just one of those moods I guess.
Tawnya, Mick's cousin is going to come and house/animal sit for us while we are gone. I am relieved to have someone here for the dogs and our little mischievious cat. 2 days of us being gone and the dogs start to notice and then they start getting into trouble.. ;)
After seeing a grilfriend of mine Skype with her husband who also works out of town, I can't wait to get Mick a laptop so that we can see him in person everyday. Hopefully when he comes home for Clay's Bday we can get him one then. I love that technology is so advance now-a-days that we have that opportunity.
Last week was a busy week for us. Luckily I have some great friends who have kept me busy. Diners, swim dates, and just girl chatting.. ;)
