It's been a long two weeks. Daniel has been TDY to Sheppard AFB for some extra training and I have been here, slugging it out. I know, it's not a deployment, but still when your husband is gone, your husband is gone.
The first week was tough. Seriously tough. Lots of catastrophes, lots of sleepless nights, lots of loneliness. Thankfully the kids were absolute angels. They hovered right around incredible with their behavior. This week was easier - no major injuries, nothing terribly bad happened, and I got a lot more sleep. And, thankfully, it went by fairly quickly.
Now we are all eagerly awaiting the sound of Daniel's motorcycle pulling in. We have missed him! The kids have been excited all day long - wishing for dinner time to hurry up and get here. They have no concept of time, but they do know that when it's dinner time Daddy will be home.
By the way, I am making this for dinner. Oh, it is all kinds of delicious! We are having ours on mashed potatoes instead of a roll. Such an easy, delicious meal. Cheap too!
C'mon Babe! Eat up those miles... we can hardly wait!

I made that sandwich a few months ago and it was delicious! That Pioneer Woman is something else! Glad you'll be sharing dinner with your honey tonight ( : Hope you have a nice weekend!
Hooray for Daddy coming home! Hope you have a wonderful weekend and a good nights rest!
Hoping you are enjoying hubby as you read this.....the sandwich does look great and I need to make it sometime....
I sometimes think the short TDYs are more difficult than longer deployments. Crazy, I know! But it seems that right as you get into your grove and routine they're back again and then the things chance again...And then just when you're used to that they leave again!
It's always exciting when they arrive home though isn't it :) Hope you're enjoying your night together as a complete family!
A short TDY Is great most of mine were for 3-4 mobths at a time. The first Mrs Golch was not happy about that.We used to fight over that point. in a way I was glad to get out when I did,Thinking that i could save the marriage. Boy was I ever wrong.
yeah!!! Daddy's home! Have a great weekend with Daddy.

Enjoy your homecoming!
I spent two years at Sheppard when I was a girl :) Glad you're getting your honey home.
Yay! TDY's have been very tough on me. Haha! Glad you have your hub back and I hope you have a great weekend.
Mine comes home in less than 5 days!
Yay for Daddy coming home! Those are the best days, for sure.
I'll have to try that sandwich. It kind of grossed me out when I first saw it because I'm a total veggie girl, but after reading it, I think it could be pretty good - especially if we add a salad. Thanks for the link!
OMG, he looks so cool on his bike. I think my husband would want to be BFF's with him...but I swear, we're not e-stalking you! LOL!
That's a great sandwich isn't it?
Hope he made it home safe and sound :)
Hugs,
Sandra
You must all be so excited. Two weeks is two weeks, still a long time to be on your own.
I hate, hate, hate when my hub goes out of town on business. Next weekend he is abandoning us for a white water rafting trip. How rude! Yet so absolutely deserved on his part. He is a hard workin' man! That dinner looks dang good. Mmm, gonna have to try it soon!
Is he home? Hope it was a grand end to your evening and a wonderful beggining to your weekend!
I love that 'which! My Big Shooter loves that 'which! My friends love that 'which!
PW rocks! Have I ever told you I taught her oldest (Pioneer Girl) on Fridays last year? It will be Little Pioneer Girl this year. She's buds with Girl Child.
Anyway, so hope your weekend was wonderful!
yes! what a long two weeks! and yet, you made it!

I'm glad your honey is now home! Tdy's, deployments...they are all hard!
Well, again, I know exactly how you felt. Having Eric gone was so hectic and getting him home was such a relief. It's definitely not the same as a deployment, but taking care of a baby and a house and everything that comes with that is very hard when you're by yourself!
I'm glad you have your hubby home!
Aww, you're such a cool wife. Will you marry me? ;)
So, can we see a pic of you in leggin's? It might help me be bold enough to wear them. I saw your comment on American Mum's post and I want to wear some but I think I'll look like I'm trying to hard. come on, Andrea, give me some guts!
WOW I am VERY surprised that you haven't posted anything in 3 days.
Does you miss your hubby? :( hahaha
Hugs!
