Away for a week

Since I have started working during the week, Brennen has really been helping out around the house. He has hung out, and helped move some things. But overall his days while I am at work can best be described (by him) as boring. So, since I have to work this week as well, Brennen will be spending the week in Midland with Karen, Joey, Nicholas, and Joshua. I am kinda happy that he won't be at home bored all week but am also sad that he won't be here when I do finally get home. This evening I already miss him and he has only been gone a few hours.

Our day started really early. Well, our night ended really late to start with. I sent Brenn to bed at 12:30am. He wanted to put a movie on. I let him, figuring he would fall asleep watching it. WRONG. I think he was a little excited about today because when I went to bed (at 2:00am) he was still AWAKE watching the movie. I very firmly told him to go to sleep. His reply was, "I am trying." He got a very quick and short response from me....."Turn it off and go to sleep". Within a matter of minutes he was out. But at 5:15am our day started. We left the house at 5:30am - I was very glad we packed last night and had everything sitting by the door. After dropping Amber off at work in Artesia, we headed to HOBBS. We stopped along the way, when my eyes started to droop. Brennen slept all the way to Artesia; then woke for 10 minutes and returned to sleep. Brennen continued to sleep and I took a nap. I woke after about half an hour and we continued our journey. Brennen remained asleep. Brennen slept until 9:00am when we met up with Karen.

We met up with Karen and the boys and had breakfast at Denny's. After breakfast a trip to Hasting's was in order. Everyone got a new book except for me. (The reason behind that is because I am the only one who doesn't read). Anyway, about 11:00am we parted. I guess Brennen is glad he slept our whole trip because he talked Karen's ear off all the way to Midland I think. So, I really enjoyed seeing Karen and the boys. Joshua is such a hoot and Nicholas - well, I love that guy!!!!!! Anyway, can't wait until Brennen gets back; but until then..........It is a work week for me! Hope you have a great MONDAY tomorrow.
