I woke up this morning and refused to let myself look at the clock. it was still dark, so it was still time to sleep. i kinda had to go to the bathroom, but i could wait, and it would allow me to look at the clock, which would tell me i woke up at too early o clock again. I did that yesterday and couldnt get back to sleep, so last night at 930, i went off to bed and my eyes actually made a crashing noise as my head hit the pillow. so as i decided to force my eyes closed, and ignore my bladder for a while, i heard my sons alarm on his phone go off. crap. it would stop. alex was sleeping right through it. hung over again. so I got up to turn it off. and when i did, i saw the clock and it said 659. I SLEPT TILL 700 AM! WOO HOO, I SLEPT ALL NIGHT. no wonder i felt so wide awake. so here I am.
Alex pulled up friday afternoon around 5. . it was so good to see him. he was tired after driving all day. John was really waiting for him, so excited. it was funny, we were standing in the kitchen and the door to the garage was open. the garage was also open so I could see out to the street. john was standing over by the fridge so he didnt see as the black car drove by, turned around and parked out front. I walked out to the garage as john was saying something. alex parked his car and I went out for the first hug. i didnt tell john. lol. shortly after he got here, it was like he never left. we talk a lot, and I just want to see his face.
so yesterday we tried to find a place for all his crap he brought home. i had to rearrange the closet that is now holding his high school crap, so it would also hold his college crap. i am running out of space to hold his stuff. I cant wait for him to get his own real place to hold his own stuff. anyway, we got most of that task done finally. then he tried to hook up his x box to the puter monitor but there was no sound. instead of buying just a cable that would fix the issue, he bought a new tv. its a small version of mine, and has a really great picture. and yes, we will get to store this also when he goes off to the air force. it just continues. we are gonna have to store his car for a while while he is in boot camp too. his toys are getting too big.
i am so happy to have him home. its like he never left kinda. i am taking some time off, not a lot cus i have to save my vacation time for his graduation from basic training.
ok, thats what i have for now. the wind has dies down for this morning, so hopefully we wont be sneezing and miserable all day again. it was really bad. hope your having a good weekend. see ya all later.
I am really glad he made it home safe and sound.....
ReplyDeleteyou probably slept so well because your son was home. I know about storing stuff. Years ago we had stored stuff from just about everyone in our family then we were going to move so they had to come get it all.
ReplyDeleteYou get the kids out of the house and then they come home with their stuff! I still have a shed full of Zac's stuff! He is 22 and I still have his stuff! LOL!
ReplyDeleteWhats he think about boot camp! I think I would dread it!
Got that first hug in! LOL! Parental competition! John is so proud of his son! I am sure it was a great reunion! Perhaps you and John should have another child!
I'm afraid it never ends....mine is over 30 and I discovered I still have some of his stuff in my basement........
ReplyDeleteif he doesnt eventually take his "stuff", im gonna put it in a bunch of boxes, and ship it to him. i need more room for mty own "stuff"
