Robb does alot of traveling for work...more than I care for. Anyway, each time he tells me he is leaving for somewhere (lately the Middle East) he tries to sugar-coat it. I think it is proof he needs a few lessons in basic counting skills! For example: his upcoming trip. He leaves on a Sunday eveneing, so to him, that day doesn't count...but it really does count as a day, because he will be doing laundry and packing all Sunday before he leaves, leaves mid-afternoon to head to the airport, and I have to feed, bathe and put the kids to bed...THAT IS A DAY! So, he also counts that he is leaving his destination on a Thursday, so he doesn't account for the fact that it is a 20 hour flight home, arrives late Friday afternoon, then jet-lag dead until the weekend is over. So, to me, that is 14days...two weeks...to him and his math skills, it is 10 days. I think I will let him do single-parent duty for "10 days" and see if he is counting :)
The anticipation of him leaving for these trips is sometimes worse than the leaving itself. I get so worked up about it, turn into cranky mom, which is unfair. Once he actually leaves, it really doesn't seem as bad as I anticipated. You would think I would know this routine by now...but it still occurs every tme.

My First Attempt at Blogging
As in the description, I will try out blogging to keep family and friends (who care) aware of what we are up to...wish me luck!
For the entire month of January, I have been getting up at 4:15 every morning (M-F) to take part in a fitness bootcamp. While I love the class and actually see results, I am not keen on the early wake up call. I get so tired and cranky by the end of the day, I am sure my kids are glad for it to be over, too! Robb rarely sees me, as i put myself to bed minutes after the kids go to bed. My hope for the bootcamp was to motivate me back into shape. Since results were seen, i will attempt going back to the gym on my own to continue the effort of getting/staying in shape. Tomorrow is my last day (!!!), and final fitness test...we will see if it was worth it.
Because of this early morning. I have been taking whatever car didn't have car-seats, so this morning I had the luck of driving the Murano, and the low-fuel light came on. So, at 4:30 am I was pumping gas with 1/2 open eyes. Then, as I was taking Saige to pre-school later in the morning, the Mazda low-fuel light came on. What are the odds of this? Very good, I would say.
