~A Bitter Swallow~

It's once again been awhile since I posted. Since it is a slow day at work today, I figured I'd pop in and say hello. It's a good thing it is slow today, too, since I am acutely tired. I don't know why, other than I didn't get a very good night's sleep last night. Quite a bit of tossing and turning. Luckily, Dustin slept like the dead, so my restlessness did not keep him up as well. My nerves are also shot today. Most likely due to the fact of my lack of sleep. I have all this nervous energy coursing through me- which seems like a contradiction in terms, considering I want to do little other than just curl up on the couch and become best friends with my television and blankey.

But anyways, (yes, I started a sentence with the word "but". I had a sentence fragment earlier as well. So shoot me. ), onto more glorious things, like the stuff that has been going on in my life lately. Nothing exciting really with ME, but my kids had some fun.

My son got to go camping with his Boy Scout troop. REAL camping. They went up to camp, and have been gone since Sunday. He will be back some time tomorrow, and although it is his dad's weekend with him, I am itching to find out how it went! He was so excited to get going. When it was time to load up, he went running to the truck without even giving me a hug goodbye! I asked if I was going to get one, and he ran up, gave me one of those lean-into half hugs, and ran back to the truck. It was awesome.

My daughter thought she was going to be in hog heaven when he left for the weekend. Her best friend had come back into town, and was coming over the day he left. However, it only took until the end of the first night for her to comment that she missed her brother. It was touching. Her friend got to stay the night for two nights, and then she went and spent the night at their place on the boat. That was a unique experience for her. I think she had fun. She also discovered this week that she is a huge Taco Bell fan. I think it brought a tear to Dustin's eye when she requested Taco Bell for lunch. He is a Taco Bell fanatic.

So- yeah. That's about all I've got going on at this time. If I think of anything else, I'll let ya know. However, I'm getting sick of typing, and want my nap! I don't get my nap, but I CAN stop typing. At least on this!
