It's My Blog and I Can Whine if I Want To-

So I have been without my sweet hubby for 11 days now. So far, here is what I have been up to:

• Had a solo anniversary;
• Been driving kids left, right and center all on my own;
• Have been preparing for Maddy's 'first date' to the Homecoming Game. (more on the crazy Texas tradition of mums and stuff when I am feeling a bit more cheerful)
• Had our new freezer do a mini-meltdown; mopped it up; tossed some stuff; consulted manuals and messed around in the garage for more time than I have EVER spent there... (unless I was looking for Christmas decorations.)
  
• Been hobbling around with an ingrown toenail while awaiting a little 'procedure' to get it fixed. Can I just tell you that I got nauseous and burst into tears booking the appointment. Oh, yes, it was pretty. If you feel like punishing yourself- come visit me!
• Definitely NOT been sleeping. (could be the cause of the hysteria today...)
  
• Dropped many-a-ball in my YW prez calling.

The list could go on, but I am sure that you get the idea. My head is going to explode.

So, the nature of my first sobbing meltdown this morning was a call from my sweet hubby confirming my dreaded feeling. He will probably have an extension to his trip. Ugh! Seriously, my head aches and my face is purple from crying. I truly had my sights set on Saturday night-- 'I only have to make it so Saturday' I would tell myself. Finding out that Saturday is turning into possible Wednesday, I just lost it.

So, not only will John miss Maddy's first date (already a known fact, but still sad) he will also miss her birthday.

How much Coke or Dr. Pepper do you think that it will take to make my head stop throbbing and to help me get through a Scavenger Hunt with about 40 kids?

I'll let you know.
