I've been terrible..

Started the blog then promptly forgot about it.

Life has been busy. We're trying to line up another job for TM this summer so he can go back to school in the fall. He received almost a complete ride with scholarships and grants, so there is no way he's going to pass up this chance. We've just got to find him something either 2 or 3rd shift, and preferably something where he will have a little study time during his work shift. It's got to have insurance as well. I'd risk going 2 years without, but with the children being so young, 5 and 7, it would be taking a huge risk to go without. One broken arm and we could lose the house. Not a risk we're willing to take. With everything else falling into place, the $ for school, the timing...I keep telling myself to have a little faith and it will all work out. Mean while, I'm hunting every source I can find for job listings. If I could wrangle one that paid enough, I'd do the hours myself, but I just don't have enough of a work history right now to do it. TM does.

I am a bit bummed at present. I was supposed to go spend the weekend with the woman I love, but TM twisted his ankle at work and the trip had to be postponed. He's in a lace up medical boot and on crutches, and pretty doped up on pain pills, too. He'll be fine and he's feeling much less pain, but it really took all the wind out of my sails this weekend.
I miss her. Really need to feel her next to me, feel her heartbeat under my fingertips, the gentle brush of her lips across mine, the warmth of her presence..*deep sigh*..2 weeks. Two weeks and I'll be there.
When you love someone, being away from them for long periods of time is difficult. I feel her near me all the time, her love, her warmth, her strength, but it's not the same as holding her in my arms and being held.

Two weeks.
