been awhile...

I have been checking everyone's blogs and wishing people would come up with a new post and then I realized...I have not updated my blog for a month or however long it has been! I decided I better stop being a hypocrite and start updating my blog more often. I don't really have much to share. Summer is here! I have looked forward to the warm weather for a long long time. I love Winter...but it can be too long. I'm not a cold weather girl....I've always hated being cold. Ben thinks I'm strange since he prefers to be cold than hot. I've always preferred to be hot than cold. I don't know why but...anyway I'm rambling.

The past few weeks have been rough on me but I'm still hanging in there. I'm still trying to be positive...no worries. Ben has been working overnights since Sunday...it has been hard on both of us. Especially with sleep. I have not been sleeping very well with Ben gone and I have been so frustrated...I'm so tired but yet I dread going to bed alone since I toss and turn and have strange dreams. I guess I better start putting pillows around me to trick myself like my sister-in-law suggested I should.

This morning, Ben woke me up and said, "Good Morning Beautiful!" and after he said that he gave me a kiss...in the process...I noticed three white pieces of butterfly bandages on his cheek....I instantly woke up then! I gasped and said, "WHAT HAPPENED?" Ben just smiled and casually said that a shelf fell on his face. Don't worry...he did not have to get stitches but it is a pretty bad gash. I'm just glad it was not worse! I asked him later how the shelf happened to fall on his face and he said that he was bending over under the shelf to do something and when he got up, the shelf just fell on his face. He did not bump it or anything...so it was some freak accident.

Anyway, Ben and I are babysitting my sister, Katie's little girls for the weekend. We are a little nervous...since it is for two nights but excited for this adventure. I hope all goes well and I'm excited...her girls are so fun to watch!

Anyway...that is my post for the day and I hope to be able to post more after this weekend!

I'm sorry your having a rough time with Ben gone. Scott works nights sometimes at the hospital and I just try and stay up as late as I can handle and then I crash when I go to bed. That stinks about the shelf thing! Crazy how some things happen. Good luck with the night shifts! Watching kids should be a great practice for you guys.

Chen, I need to be a better neighbor/friend. Did you know that when I'm feeling blue you're one of the first I think of to talk with? I look up to you in so many ways. You are welcome to come down anytime and sleep over! :)
I also think it's funny that Ben as being romantic when he had an injury....I'm also grateful it wasn't anything more serious.
As for the little footsteps I hear, I thought maybe you were dancing. ;D jk. I hope you have a fun weekend with the girls. Let me know if you need anything. I love you!!
