On the Road Again...

WOW. Jim and JW made it to Loveland, Colorado in one day. It is very close to the Wyoming border. Jim said they are making such great time because they are two grown men who don't have to stop every 5 minutes to go to the bathroom. I guess that's why it took our family 9 hours to get to Galveston for Spring Break... in a trip that should have taken a little over 4....:)

It's 3 a.m. right now. I just don't seem to sleep very well when Jim is gone. The boys were just jewels yesterday. They sure miss their daddy. They are all going to our favorite Vacation Bible School this week. Jonathan's class has been visiting places and doing some outreach (soup kitchen, a daycare, the fire station...). They are going to a nursing home today and Jonathan might get to play a couple of Johnny Cash tunes for the residents. He astounds me at how good he is getting with playing the guitar and singing! Most kids have to be told to practice. Jonathan seems surgically attached to his guitar; in fact, we have to tell him to put it down to do his chores or come to the dinner table! I know it's TMI, but he even takes it with him into the men's room....

We went to a birthday at the Water Park last night. The weather was nice and cool and the boys had a blast. We sure will miss our friends!!!

I had wondered how long it will take the "menfolk" to get to Washington? I had to laugh at Jim's observations! When I am travelling back to Missouri, I usually make record time because it's just me. For whatever reason, when we travel as a family, I actually want to take breaks more than when I'm flying solo! That doesn't make any sense at all! The other thing about a long trip is that dave styarts out driving. By 9PM or so, it becomes my turn. Well Heck! I'm tired too! I don't nap well in the car so I would rather start the drive not have to finish it!

I can relate to not sleeping well when Dave's out of town. I'm not afarid or anyhting like that, it's just that it doesn't "feel" right to be in the bed and not have him next to me to snuggle with!
