Day One=Single Mom

Okay well here I am day one of being single. We took my husband to the airport this morning and he is in New York for a while. Overall the day went well. I had a lot of fun with the boys.

As sad as it was seeing my husband go off to work, I am so glad that he has a job. The last 4 months have truly been a struggle. I am glad to say that we survived it and we are moving forward in the right direction. We are so excited about that.

The boys are so excited to be moving to New York. They cannot wait! I can't wait for them. I just want us to be settled and in a place that we really love. And especially all of us be together again!

Okay I gotta run. Ryan is up...ugh!

The Test

I am sitting here listening to the lovely sound of my 2 year old Zachary cry. I am trying to take away his pacifier. We just put him to bed and I cut the nipple off the paci. So I gave the halfsie paci to him and ran out of the room as quick as I could.

And I am proud to say that he cried for a full 20 minutes and then quiet. So we will see. The next test comes tomorrow at nap time.

Next we are on to potty training! Fun Fun!

Counting down the days:-(

Well today is Tuesday and I am pretty sure my hubby will be leaving by this weekend. We are counting down the days until I am a single Mommy of 3 under 5. OMG! We may not see Daddy again until Thanksgiving! Its going to be so hard. But again its getting us closer to home and that is so exciting. So we are trying to squeeze as much as we can in these last few days before he leaves. Its especially hard since he has been here everyday for 4 months.

Being out of work that long has been hard and we have done pretty well I think keeping up with our bills and such. However this week has been a little more difficult. I know its only a few days til that ends and we feel like we can breathe again but waiting has been horrendous.

As I learn more about the blogging world I am sure it will be very helpful when I am here by myself. It will be good therapy when I put the kids to bed and need to vent. Should be interesting.

One story before I go. So we had this cat Jackson for the last 7 years. Well to make a long story short we had to take him to adoption center because he was ruining our house. This happened a month ago. Now we have 2 Dogs Jasmine and Bailey and 1 cat Jovi. So last night Cameron says to me, "Mommy where is Jackson the cat?" I freeze because I thought that since a month has past and not a word has been said from any of the kids that I was home free. NOT the case. I answer and say that unfortunately Jackson could not live with us anymore. He says "Does he live with someone else?" And I say "Yes". Cameron then gives me the guilt trip and says "But Jackson was Jovi's friend"...and we left it at that. I just could not believe that after one month he finally thought about Jackson. He seemed satisfied with my answers but I am sure that will not be the end of it. I hate it when I am caught off guard like that and I have no words. Hopefully it gets better and easier the more it happens. Who knows!?!?

Okay More Later!

Okay back to the craziness!

So it was just one year ago that we moved here to Orlando. Now we will be moving to New York. We are pretty excited. My husband lost his job in June and it has been a long hard 4 1/2 months. Finally we got good news and got a great job with a great company. As much as we would of liked to go home to Ohio, New York is 12 hours closer to home then Florida. I know that we can drive home for the weekend to visit and I am very happy about that.

The next few months will be just as hard as it has been the last 4 months. Selling the house, finding a new place to live, not to mention that we will be apart for a while. I just can't wait for the feeling that we are settled. We have not had that in a year.

Okay its almost 1 am and I need to go to bed. More Later!
