oops, been a while!
i get sad when i follow someone's blog and they go one day without writing. so i thought i should probably write.
hmm, whats been going on...
well, jay left for israel. i won't lie. i prayed til last minute that there would be an upheaval (is that a word?) over there so they would have to cancel the trip. i know i'm wrong for that.
yesterday we spent the day together. G, Jay and me. it was fun...ish. i fought tears all dang day. i know i'm lame. i stayed strong until we were on our way to sign our tax papers. then i burst into tears. like a complete fool. i already looked homeless b/c i didn't fix my hair, have on makeup or clothes that matched too well. then i looked insane with puffy eyes and a red nose. i know that poor lady thought i was strung out or something. and gabe's hair looked greasy all day yesterday. i cannot figure out why. so he looked rough. and jay has this awful "duck dynasty" beard going on. i can only imagine what we looked like rolling up in that cpa office. embarrassing.
oh but this was sweet. gabe heard me crying. and couldnt take his eyes off of me. he was turning his head towards me in the carseat and then looked for me when jay got him out. then he kissed me on both cheeks and on the lips. what a sweetie! ok, then he mocked me making sniffling noises. that was funny.
i also got hoodwinked into going to the mall. i hate the mall. but jay wanted new glasses. that was annoying. gabe and i played all over the mall waiting on jay. we even played in an empty kiosk. somehow that probably wasn't ok. but whatevs.
gabe was wearing a onesie that said "girls dig me."
we went to sams. we fit in there. i usually get excited when they have samples out. but one time we got some NASTY cheese. i mean NASTY. i pretty much spit it out in front of the lady that gave it to me and booked it to the next sample station for help.
gabe found his man parts/junk sunday night. hilarious. he got in the tub and started peeing. i guess it surprised him b/c he couldn't stop watching. then he started aiming/pointing around with his penis. i laughed until i cried. it was so funny.
what's not funny....me sneaking into gabe's easter candy. poor kid. i cannot stop. i find reasons to go in his room so i can steal an eggs worth. he's going to figure me out.
i act like i cant just go buy candy for myself. i guess i feel like it doesn't "count" if its not mine. really that probably makes it "count" double...gluttony and stealing. awesome.
people are being SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sweet to want to take care of gabe and me while jay is gone. seriously. the Triers, Creswells, Hannah Jackson & Luke Smith (uncle poopy!) are fabulous to take G for a bit. of course my mom & dad are sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet and helping a ton! i even have friends that offered to come at the butt-crack so i can exercise...Courtney Owen & Molly Brandenburgh. amazing friends i have!
i haven't said no to anyone that has offered. am i wrong for that?!
everyone except me apparently is at the beach. according to facebook. i wish i was there.
i saw a half eaten cupcake on the ground sunday morning while running with madison. i told her if it would've had icing on it i would've considered eating it. yes, i am that crazy.
madison and i made fun of woodpeckers sunday. seriously, aren't you glad you aren't a woodpecker? what a strange life.
we had one that felt called to our house growing up. made sense until we got vinyl siding. he didnt get the memo. seriously bird...back off. don't you realize thats not wood?!
oh back to jay being gone. yesterday he started the morbid conversation about what to do if he died...
i quickly announced that i'd be pissed if he died...
he told me to keep one acoustic guitar and one bass guitar (or his standup) for gabe. and maybe one gun from his grandpa. then give the other guns to his mom and sell guitars.
he told me where the combination to our safe is. and other stuff i dont remember.
i told him to help me out if i start dating some lame punk. i said our sign would be that jay would pull the guys hair while we were on a date. i'd know it was jay b/c the guys head would jerk back for no reason. didnt consider that i'd date another bald guy...oops.
i also told him i was going another route. worship pastors are fabulous but wealthy...they are not. ha!
then we had to stop that conversation b/c it was getting too sad.
i like flying. well, i like airports, take-off and landing. that's about it. other than that i get bored. jay had a 13 hour flight from newark to israel. gross. he took unisom to drug himself. i would've too.
jay and i tend to miss flights when we travel. but we always make the best of it!
i remember when we went to ecuador for a mission trip. on the way back they told us not to mention that we'd been there for mission work. so when the gate guy asked me why i was there i froze like an idiot. i kept looking at everyone behind me all wide-eyed (and my wide-eyed look is SCARY!) i think i said something stupid like, "for fun."
gabe won't eat any.dang.thing. thank the Lord for formula. even though it is expensive it is the only way i know he's getting nutrients. eat kid!!
i'll wrap this mess up. here are some things i will make the best of while jay is gone:
-sleeping slap in the middle of the bed
- no snoring
- no extra wires/cords/guitars/etc laying everywhere. the man has gadgets.
- no mouth noises during meals. oh.my.
- shoes won't be laying around everywhere. the man has shoes.
- i don't have to cook anything good. ha.
things i'll miss:
- bites of his breakfast.
- seeing his sweet face every morning and night.
- knowing he's there when i fall asleep and wake up.
- hearing him read scripture at supper
- hearing him pray for gabe every night
- laughing with him
- having to pump my own gas
- my best friend
happy tuesday. 10 days to go.
