School is almost over! Only 19 days left. Very exciting stuff! I will be gone 4 of those, so I've technically only got 15 days left. It's always bittersweet to me when school is out--maybe because I'm still "newer" in the profession. I always feel like I should be working and it's hard to shut down from school stuff for the first week or so of summer.
Good news: Ricky started back as Support Manager last night. He now works 10 pm to 7 am. It will be great--I know it will! But...the past two days have been very difficult to adjust. On Saturdays, Russell and I will be alone until around 4 pm. We also have to be quiet because Daddy is sleeping. We go outside and play, watch movies, then go outside and play again, but after a few hours we're bored out of our minds! Saturday has always been our "Family Day." Looks like I'm going to have to find some cheap "Mommy and Me" activities...

I know there will probably have to be some major adjustments since Ricky and I have seen each other only 2 days a week for the past year and a half. I'm prepared for that mentally. However, it's still difficult. I completely and totally 100% LOVE that he's home. I'm just so used to being the sole parent at nights for Russell. It was awkward last night to have help! If that's all I've got to complain about - that I had too much help - I've got it made, right? ;)
In one of our many trips outside, we had a little photo shoot in honor of Mother's Day. I'm so blessed to be the mother of a perfect little boy. He informs me often that he's growing up--and then tells me that someday
he will be the big person and that Ricky and I will be his babies and that he will take care of us and feed us and put us to bed. Aww!

Russell got me a gift certificate from Learning Oasis. My boys know me so well! I'm excited about going by there one day (sans child, or I'll be spending it on him!).
