Tomorrow

So I woke up this morning thinking about tomorrow.

Tomorrow Todd goes back to work in Dallas. In my head I keep telling myself that it is no different than all the times before when he went to Dallas for a few days. However, it is different. January 19th was the day marked on the calendar that he would "officially" start in Dallas. He will still come to the Hawkins load center once or twice a week until March 26th which is their last day, but officially he is now employed at the Coppell office.

What all that means to me is that he will now "officially" be gone more than he will be home. :(

Someone showed the house this weekend while we were out, so that had my spirits up a little. In my head I know it would be best for us to not sell the house until late spring, so that Madelynn can finish school without a bunch of upheaval, but my heart just says that I don't want our family to be separated for that long.

In the end, it doesn' t matter what my heart wants or what my head thinks. The house will sell when it sells and we will be together again.

In the meantime we took the kids to Dallas this weekend to look around and let them do some fun things. We drove around looking at houses in the Frisco area. I liked it a lot and the schools seemed great. Now to find a house in our price range. We'll see.

We took the kids to the Grapevine Mills Mall and they really enjoyed it. We did glow in the dark Putt Putt and rode the miniature train and the carousel and then had supper at the Rainforest Cafe. They slept the whole way home. In all we really had a great time, but don't even get me started on Toll Roads. UGH!!!

I never carry cash with me, and so when we had to pay the $1.20 for the toll, I asked if they took debit cards. Um, no but you can write a check. GREAT!!! Except I just used my last check on Friday and I didn't grab a new checkbook. I thought Todd would kill me. He gave the standard "Sorry, we aren't from around here" as our excuse.

HEAVENS TO BETSY!!!
