I took the kids to Arizona for Winter break and we had a great time. We went to the zoo and the Arizona Museum of Natural History. Chandler participated in a race that we got to watch. He is a great runner and Hillary says he gets LOTS better with each race. Mariah was in a BUGZ play and was a beautiful monarch butterfly. Hillary made the costume and it was the best I have ever seen. Jackson loves to ride his bike. He will ride it fully clothed, only in underwear, and sometimes NAKED. He is quite the pistol but also so much fun. I got to give him 2 baths while I was there, his first two weeks of life I gave him a bath every night so it was a joy to get to do it again. I miss my mom and sister so it was really nice to be able to go, and VERY hard to leave.

I am married to a wifey boy!!
Last Sunday the kids and I dropped Carl off at the airport, in Montrose, his flight left at 945 am. We watched him go through security and then we left. He got to Denver no problem, got on another flight to St. Louis. He arrived in St. Louis at about 3 pm. He texted me and said he was there and all was well. He checked into his hotel and unpacked. He found some dinner and had it delivered to his room. The business meeting was at the hotel where he was staying. He had no car and no other transportation. The hotel was in the middle of a residential area, so no stores or restaurants within walking distance. So he settled in for the night and watched t.v. At about 9 pm Sunday night he called me and asked me not to be mad at him. I asked what was wrong and why I would be mad at him. He replied "I can't be here another minute." He was having an anxiety attack and he felt like he was going to have a heartattack. How can a wife be mad at her husband for missing her so much it was litterally making him sick to be away from her? I picked him up at the airport in Montrose at 2 pm on Monday. Carl has done this a couple of times in the past, but we thought he would be okay this trip. Thankfully his boss is a totally awesome lady, she covered for him and he won't lose his job. She actually embellished the story for Carl's benefit to the Regional Manager. So now Carl will be home alone when the kids and I go to Arizona. He said thats fine HE just can't leave home without me. Gotta love this boy!!!

Am I Sad or Happy?
I am sad ----Carl left this morning for St. Louis. He will be gone for 2 weeks. Training for work.
I am happy ----In 6 days I leave to go to Arizona to see my Mom and sister. I am so excited, if I was a bad mom I would leave now to go to Arizona. But the kids need to be in school. Carl and I have been apart this long only one other time, that is when I went to Arizona to take care of Hillary when Jackson was born. I am going to try to stay busy this week so I don't miss Carl as much. And try to think of this time as a great relationship builder.
I am thankful ----That his training and my vacation are at the same time. A lot less stress on everybody this way.
I am even more thankful ----Carl got the final word of job promotion. He is the new Center Manager in Grand Junction. More money, more responsibility, but less freedoms, he actually needs to be at work from 8-5. He will continue to be the manager in Delta, but has hired a wonderful and very smart assistant to run the day to day operations. This promotion also means we move back to Grand Junction. Yeah?!!!?
