Welcome Home!!

Sunnydale called me last night and asked me if I would drive to San Jose, CA to get him if he could get an earlier flight and land there. I said no. It's not that I haven't missed him, because I have, but send me with 4 kids to some place I've never driven to at 10:00 at night and all of a sudden I feel out of my comfort zone. Sunnydale is very good at putting me there. *grin* So anyway, he said ok, and that he would see me today, sometime.

So the kids and I all went to bed. The older girls couldn't sleep because they were excited about him coming home so they ended up all piled up in my bed. Somewhere in the middle of the night I woke up to see a man carrying Anna across the room. I freaked out and did what all good mothers would......I froze. Then I heard her talking and it certainly didn't sound like she was being kidnapped...*laughing*. It was Sunnydale!

He had landed in San Jose after all and taken the shuttle back home. So nice of him. *sigh of relief*

It's nice to have him home. We've just laid around the house all day and played with the kids. We've all missed him so much!! The girls made cakes for him and decorated them all by themselves. So we had cake for breakfast. LOL

Work is going well. I so LOVE this job! It's a nice mixture of complexity and simpleness. Sometimes I can't help but to laugh that I'm actually getting paid to do what I do. But hey, I'm not complaining!

Sunnydale Jr. Had a slight setback with the potty training since he started daycare, but when I picked him up yesterday he was dry and had been doing great all day! Since then we haven't had any accidents. Let's hope he's getting settled now into a routine. It isn't everyday that he will be going so I think once the girls get off fall break from school everything will go back to normal.

I'm going to post some of the pics my Dad sent me from their trip down to Biloxi, MS to help in rescue/rebuild efforts. I'll have to do it tonight, my family is calling! ~

*Cheer*!!

I am SOOO Excited! I got the job that I talked about in an earlier post. This is going to be such a wonderful job. Plus it doesn't hurt that it's going to look nice on my resume when we leave here!! Wow, this has been such a difficult week. With Sunnydale gone, I've been consumed with getting this job and I haven't really been able to talk to him about it, seeing as he isn't here. LOL Although I think my friend Tracey is really glad that I got it so maybe I'll STOP talking about it. *rolls eyes* I know she's happy though, because she gets to keep Abby for me while I'm at work! And Abby is the easiest baby on earth. *laughing* True though, very true. I'm going to hit the sack. Now that I can sleep easier. *sigh* Thanks for the prayers!!
