"Honey, I'm home!"
I have some really awesome news to share. My husband and I have finally reached that point in our relationship and decided to move in together!!! Yes, you read that right - my husband and I. We just celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary but have been living apart for the better part of the last year and a half. For five months, the kids and I lived in Omaha while he was in Southern California. For three blissful months of constant beach-going, surfing, snorkeling and boogie-boarding, we all lived together on Maui. But for the past year, the kids and I lived on Oahu while my husband stayed on Maui. Now, after a long and crazy, and I do mean crazy, time, my husband has finally joined us on Oahu. It is so good to be a complete family again.
I don't know how single mothers do it.
It really seems like parenting was made for two people, and not just for using the ol' good cop/bad cop thing. There has to be someone there, when things get tough, to say, "It's okay, kids. She's not really going to tear your limbs off. But just in case, maybe you should go clean up your room" and then hide the axe and guard the knife drawer.
there is no

Hahaha. So did you figure out how many months during your 13 years you guys have spent apart? I know a guy that spends 3 weeks out of the month in Japan while his wife and kids live in the USA.
So what do you think of McCain's choice for a running mate? ;)
I didn't know you still were apart in Oahu! Hey what do you think of Sarah Palin...I want an Alaskan view :)Waiting for your always clever post.
and in nine months .....
ambie, wash your blasphemous mouth out with soap! I know Hawaii was "fruitful" for you but we have much more discipline...now. *looking out for the flying ice-cream truck*
I too am waiting for Ambie's insider info on Palin. I believe she has a picture of her (Palin) with her (Ambie's) daughter. I thought she (Palin) did a great job campaiging for Lisa Murkowski. I was impressed.
Yay!!!! I hate you!!! I am so jealous. Curse Kiewit!!!!
Why didn't you just stay in Maui? School?
Yeah, Tim, Christian was supposed to follow along a couple months after the start of school. But, as they say in construction, "leaks happen", and that couple of months turned into a year. If we had known that from the start, we would've stayed in Maui. *sigh* I love Maui.
leaks happen... and nine months later.....
Sarah Palin
love her. She is one tough cookie. My daughter and I met her and she certainly has an air of confidence that seems genuine. Alaska is a Republican state anyways so obviously there is an abundance of Sarah pride here.
