I have been gripping to my classes in the last few days and today is T-Day. I have 2 3.5 hour tests to take and if anyone catches me surfing, remind my ADD brain I have until Midnight to get them done. I am sick over them and have come to the “to hell with it” attitude. How sad. I am about 6 classes from a CPA. So as a friend said the other day, I could use a prayer, a woo-woo or whatever…and then I am off of school for 10 days. Next time I am taking only 1 class..and when it is all done, I am going down to the coast in Savannah or Flagler Beach in Florida and taking a 2 week vacation alone -and would love every minute of it.
The main purpose for this blog is last night, on very rare occasion, Ron put the kids to bed. It could be because I was in tears and studying and I think he felt bad. He is working 14 hour days and I hate to say it, but I wish he did travel and come home on weekends. He is so stressed with work and irritable, having him home at night, even at 9-10 pm, then leaving @ 5:30 to get into Chicago is too much. I know we, being married, have suffered. The kids feel his stress and if he was home on weekends, we would definately see him more. BUT…he read to Ryan and Jena last night a book called Bartholomew and The Bug by Neal Layton and the kids just loved it.
I will definitely keep you in my thoughts while you’re testing, which I imagine you’re doing right.this.minute – RIGHT? Breath – deeply. It will all work out.
And I’m going to let you in on a little secret… Geo and I DO get along much better now that we’ve been separated for a year. I’m a little worried about how we’ll be when we’re together again… not to mention we do have the added stress of my parents living with us for the next two years. I’m hoping we’ve learned a little life lesson in all this and treat each other accordingly.
I hear you about the stress. I really do. It’s going to get better – right? lol
