Missing my Boy!!!

WOW .... What a week!!!  It has been a very interesting one to say the least.  As you can all tell I am back from vacation and unfortunately back to work (not able to keep up on my blog as I would like).  Sunday started out very teary (or should I say Saturday Night) as we left Tyler in Indiana with Lee's parents.  Caleb was supposed to stay but Sat he and I both started to tear up thinking about being separated for a whole 2 weeks.  We tried to break the new to Tyler that he would have to come home and it became a crying session for all 3 of us.  It was Lee's idea to have Tyler come home (secretly I think he was missing them already too).  Nevertheless, Sunday came and we decided to allow Tyler to stay but Caleb would come home with us.  This was not easy to do first time leaving my baby for a whole 2 weeks.  I continued to cry till we got on expressway and poor Caleb took it so hard he cried himself to sleep on the car ride home; and continued for the next couple of days on and off....

My week has been very stressful.  Work is crazy and a couple of people were off which made my workload incredibly full.  This was definitely a week that I wanted to just stay home and be a MOM.  Going in at 7 working till 6 or 7 every night..... made me question why God has called me to do THIS job.....  I know we aren't supposed to question HIM.  I am very thankful for the way HE supplies for our family.  As I look around at all of the stay home mom's I must admit I am a (little) jealous. -- Until I spend the day with them-- lol.   Not really I understand the sacrifice's they make and can totally empathize for while they sacrifice in the finance department.  I have to sacrifice in the TIME department.  We are all called to do different things and while it is very tempting to QUIT my job and stay home I know deep down in my heart that God has called me to be a witness to those around me.  In this really hard transition of my company I am to be grateful to have a job, and show HIS love and goodness to all those around me even when I would rather be home.  I just keep being reminded of the scripture " I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength".

While I was working, Caleb got to spend a little more bonding time with Aunt Melanie and his cousins.  It is amazing how quiet and how well they get along without Tyler here (and we always thought Caleb was instigating the problems)lol.  Caleb decided he wanted to spend the night with Aunt Melanie a couple nights this week.  It worked well the first night... the second time in the week.... not so good.  I had just fallen to sleep at 11:30pm and about 11:50 the phone rings, of course I am afraid something is wrong, why else would the phone ring at that time of night right?  Well... it is Caleb in tears again wanting to come home  after much persuading I ended up getting in the car an going to pick him up at midnight.  Melanie was still up (un be knowance)to him... She said she could hear the tip toeing and the TV on.  There he was sitting on the couch looking scared to death , all the lights on in the living room and dining room when I got there.  Melanie came out of her room and asked what was going on.  I said "Caleb didn't you tell Aunt Melanie I was coming to get you?" I had told him on the phone that I couldn't just come get him in the night or his Aunt would have a panic attack if she woke up and didn't find him.  He was afraid of waking her up.  So he had gone to the play room and called (no wonder he was whispering). 

Tyler continues to text us everyday. Several times a day... and calls at least once or twice.  I am ready for my kido to get home.  Don't think I am going to do very good as they get older and go away for longer periods of time. We still have another week till he gets home..... We will see how the saga will continue....

Hope all goes well for everyone this week.  Now that I am back to work my blogs will probably be a weekly post but ya never know........
