It's been a little bit of a stressful week. Nothing crazy happening, just a lot of worry and "think-about-it" time. Nick and I took the kids on a quick drive up to the train station just across the Pennsylvania border on Saturday to see how long it would take him to get there from our house now. It takes about 70 minutes with no traffic. We both were trying to think of alternatives to cut down his commute time while he's in school the next six month. He's talked with a guy who rents rooms from his house and that's looking like a really big possibility. So now Nick will probably be staying up north during the week and coming home on weekends. It'll cut his commute time from 3 hours to about 1 hour or so, save gas money, and wear and tear on the car. Plus I would feel safer if he weren't driving so far to come home on the nights where he has to work at the hospital until midnight. On the other hand I don't want him gone at all during the week. I really depend on him to help me with the kids when he gets home. It's what keeps me sane. But I know it's not for very long, and he'll be home on weekends. So I'm going to be a school widow for the next six months. Stink!
Spencer fell and hit his head on something last night. He has this huge goose egg right between his eyebrows. No idea what he fell on. He looked like something from Star Trek the way it stuck out from his face. It's still a little swollen this morning, but it's not bad. That kid has the hardest head ever!
I found out my good friend is moving to North Carolina in like a month. Sad to see her go. It's been nice having a friend around to have dinner with, and for our kids to play together. It was an unexpected thing, but I know it'll work out for them. Maybe I'll be able to go down to North Carolina this summer to see them. We'll see.
So I've had a lot to think about this week. I've got a stress headache at the base of my head. The weather isn't cooperating. It's raining and I've got a sinus headache to go along with my stress headache. I'm tired.

I know how you feel! We had 5 children, and David was only home on the weekends. It was really hard! I found a really nice lady in our ward who needed a little extra money. She watched my kids so I could go play raquetball with my cousin once a week. It saved my sanity! I was only gone 2 hours, so it didn't cost that much. Find something you enjoy doing without your kids...just for you. I was a better mom when I came home!
Love you, I know you, you're tough, you can do this!
