withdrawals.

i am going through withdrawals.
and i'm not talking about the atm.
i'm talking about:

sugar withdrawals.

family withdrawals.


guitar hero, world tour withdrawals.



seeing my ellie 24-7 withdrawals.


letting myself be lazy-hazy-nazy withdrawals.


summer withdrawals.


spending time with M (other than talking about whether or not ellie pooped or what time she took her ibuprofen) withdrawals.


christmas withdrawals.


ugh. it's always a bit bleak to think the holidays are 11 months away.

feeling your pain. big time. in particular the husband withdrawls... busy season seems so bleak! and so LONG.

would love to see you, give us a call. wade's schedule is "less concrete" than it used to be. meaning he can stay up a later now. he's getting so old. so is ellie, it makes me sad!

Things to look forward to:
~ a Nice Hot relaxing bath
~ a date night with Mike ( on me!)
~ The next giggle Ellie gives you
~ Being totally comfortable in your favorite JEANS.... because you said goodbye to sugar for a little while.
~ The next funny thing one of your students is going to say.
~ The First Spring Flowers! It really will happen. Promise.
~ Mike's GRADUATION!!! He is the best!
And on and on and on! hehehe
You can come over to play guitar hero any time. I was looking for DAD the other day, and he was in the basement all by himself playing guitar hero... his reply to my surprised question " What are you doing?" " Getting better for when I play with the kids.
I love you and see you tomorrow!
