Oh my Geez

So Ryan is finally home!!! I am so excited, but man has so much gone on since he got back. The kids were so different in their reactions I didn't know what to do. Will thinks if daddy leaves the room he is going to be going far away for a long time again, so he is stuck on Ryan like white on rice. Alex was the complete opposite. Cried any time Ryan went to touch him, I know that had to hurt his feelings. I don't know how I feel.

Don't get me wrong I am so happy he is home. But now I have to share my space and something just feels different. Almost like he is forcing himself to be happy he's back. You would think being trapped in the desert with all men and very manly women would make him ecstatic to be back, and I'm sure it does. Still, something is not right. He missed his flight home, because of reasons we will not discuss due to me getting angry. So the kids didn't even see him until the day after they were supposed to.

It has been crazy ever since. We all have gotten some kind of bug, no idea what, but so far I have had it the worst. Of course, I am the only female, why not let me have the most horrible time when we all get sick too right? I hope that it's finally over though. We are supposed to go to San Diego at some point in the next few weeks, I am kind of excited. I have never been to their zoo or seen a beach in my life. (Yes you read that right.)

I hope that with all the things to come in the next few months we will find a renewed dedication to our family and making every minute count. We just realized tonight that by the time we are 40 both of our kids will be out of the house. That is sheer craziness!! Hope this finds everyone well and that Valentine's Day was special to all!!
