Today I woke up later, showered, got dress and went out the door to work. I didn't have the boys last night, Kari did. It is really strange to me not to have the responsibility of getting them up, dressed, and take them to daycare. But, now that do have days that I don't, I find myself taking advantage of it. Plus, my darling husband has been gone and I find myself staying up later, reading, shopping with Kari, and watching all the movies that I want to watch. I would say that I am making the most of his being on a business trip. I do miss him but I might as well make it a "ME fest" while he is gone to make the time go by quickly. It really has been a long time that I have had time just to myself.
I was on my way to pick up the boys this evening and I got a call from Eva (my stepmom that lives in Costa Mesa, CA). Jon, my brother, was there and so she put him on the phone to talk to me. It was good to hear his voice. There were many times we have wondered where he was and if he was alive. We talked for quite a while and he was very talkative for which I was glad. I would say that it has been 6 or more years since I have actually talked to him or seen him. It shouldn't be that way. He has had trouble in the past but I always hope and pray that he is doing well. It really made my day to have talked to him. We exchanged email addresses and my hope is that we can remain in contact. I don't have a picture of Jon but he likes eagles from what I remember. So in his honor, I put up a picture of an eagle.
So with that news I will get off for tonight. Have a great evening and weekend. We all deserve it!

That is lovely news about your brother, I'm so glad you got to talk to him for a while too. And I totally agree with you having some 'Me' time while hubby is away, it really does make the time pass quickly. Enjoy!
