Well, another week down and a busy one at that! Last wednesday was my first day back to work and it was good to see everyone again and connect! Then, on Friday was a food auction which lasted a long time! Keith usually leaves the kids with my mom and dad(the auction house is next door to them) and brings Ella down for feedings every two hours. Well, the last time he came down, when he went to leave, he got the van good and stuck in the mud. For those of you who don't live in the area, it has been an incredibly muddy and wet spring so far. He left me with the van stuck and took the car and went home. After the auction, I had Gordon (my boss) and his brother-in-law try and pull me out....well...they tried to rock it first with no results, then they tried to pull it out with a chain...then they tried to get a tractor to pull it out but couldn't find the keys....finally they got a heavy duty truck and just yanked it out. The men all asked how I was going to punish Keith for leaving me with such a mess. Well.....I had called Keith to update him on the situation and couldn't hear him because Ella was screaming so much for her mommy! I figured he was punished enough! It wasn't really his fault anyway!
On Saturday, we went to Mom and Dad Myers' and the kids and I spent the day with cousins and aunts and uncles while the men went tackle box shopping at Cabela's and Dave Jan's. They had to stock up! Fishing season starts any day now! Then, in the evening Keith and I and Ella went out to Biaggi's in Toledo with Keith's co-workers to say goodbye to Craig who was let go this last week. We would really appreciate prayer right now for Sauders and the people who work there. It is really not going well and they are in the difficult process of cutting jobs right now. Keith is safe, as well as Jim (Keith's dad) right now. However, the pressure of the job is really getting to Keith. I have been blessed with an awesome husband who not only love and cares for his family, but those he works with too. It's hard for him to see people go! Plus, he is in a new position that requires him to be more "in front" of people at meetings and such and he is not really all that comfortable with that! Next Sunday he'll leave for his first big trip away from home to Highpoint NC for the big furniture show. I may go live with mom and dad for a couple days, although I do want to stay at least one night on my own to see if I can manage all three! The last time I talked to Ang she said that she didn't know how we (who one time slept with a rock in bed for fear of being attacked at night) ended up with traveling husbands! So true!! Oh well....at least with time it gets easier! Hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy! It is a beautiful 58 degrees out today....the snow is melting and although it's rainy it brings a smile to my face! I can't wait for spring warmth when I can take the kids to the park, play tee-ball with them and ride bikes outside! Love to All! Have a great week!
