Maybe you didn't realize I was on a bit of a break, but I was & now I'm back. Sometimes I let things over take my life, like this stupid blog, and other times I just have better things to do. While I think keeping my blog up is a good thing, I have decided it doesn't find itself in the so-important-I-must-keep-up-at-all-times category...that may stress me out.
So where have I been you may ask. No where. That is the great thing. It has been over a month since I have packed or unpacked a suitcase (okay, don't go checking to make sure it has been a month...I'm not certain, but think so)...and while I will be packing a suit case this week I am glad it hasn't been any sooner. Scot on the other hand has been packing & unpacking for what seems like forever. Last week he was in Amsterdam & while some have wondered how I have managed having him gone for so long (7 FULL days) I in fact found it quite easy & dare I say enjoyable?!? Maybe that sounds a bit rude, but sometimes it is nice to just do your own thing. I decided to embrace that philosophy while Scot was gone & I did just dandy...mind you I am not looking forward to the next trip to Amsterdam when he is gone 10 days.
Anyway, he is now home & actually took all of last week off & all of next week...oddly enough, I wasn't ready to give up my do-your-own-thing philosophy when he got back & there had to be a bit of an adjustment for both of us. Scot could sense my frustration on day one & I really couldn't quite place it...I mean most of us ladies would love to have our husbands all to ourselves for a week right? Yeah...actually it was a little weird at first & they only way I could describe it to Scot was that he was throwing off my rhythm! He proceeded to ask me if I had watched the Emperor's New Groove one too many times...haha...that's funny.
But seriously, I get so much into a rhythm that I like & if it gets tipsy, I'm usually a little bugged. So I had to take a step back & realize that Scot being home was probably more important than my precious schedule/rhythm, but on the other hand those are the things that keep me sane when he is gone...kind of a catch 22, but after some quick attitude adjustments (and Scot moving his laptop from my work desk...number 1 thing that bugs) we had ourselves a big ol' fun week. Full of bike rides, jogs, lunches out & dinners with friends. I even managed to grocery shop without the Scoobs, which actually found me missing him & that has probably been the biggest most weird adjustment. I've realized I may be a bit territorial about my man Z...I mean, I actually like having him with me...really like it. I feel weird without him. Funny how that happens. Remember when I first had him & I wondered where my "old self" was...the one that got to dress cute & go to work...I hardly remember that person now & to be honest I like my new self best.

Those are great pictures! I totally get what you mean with your husband. The same thing happens for me. I am so happy to have him home, but it is hard readjusting your and the babys schedule. It throws everything off balance. Sounds like we both need our husbands to get on a 9-5 schedule and stop going out of town!
Love the pictures! I know exactly what you are talking about with the husband being gone and then all the sudden they are ever present! It does throw off your rhythm. The first fews days of vacation or school break are always the hardest. Then just when you get used to having them back they are gone again.
I love this post! I think I need my own little break right now, and I need not to worry so much about stressing to get EVERYTHING done! I am also in need of a break WITH my hubby :) Sounds like you had alot of fun!
Jordan just got homr from four days of hunting. I have to say that I totally agree with you (don't tell him though). Husbands have a way of throwing things off when they come home from a trip. It throws you and the kiddies off. Love having them home as long as they stay on MY schedule! :)
I am glad you had a fun week. It would be nice if Reddin could be home this week to help me pack. Anyway, I have not seen you in months we will have to do something after thanksgiving if you are up for it.
hey amy-
CUTE FAMILY!!! It was good to hear from you and now I have your blog address so we'll have to keep in touch. We are in Salt Lake right now. Derick is still going to school and when he finishes we are hoping to go to Colorado but we'll see what happens. Hope you have Happy Holidays. Tell your family hello.
