Almost there!!

I can rest a bit easier tonight. Tad and the dogs made it safely to Evansville last night, and headed out this morning. After a long day of driving, and a traffic jam, they are safely tucked in bed in Asheville. He said it was a beautiful drive today, and enjoyed going through 2 tunnels, but is worn out! The dogs are wiped out too. They have been refusing to eat, but I think they might have changed their minds tonight. They will get to rest longer than last night, and then just a few more hours tomorrow and he's there!!!

And on top of that, we have a house!! He and the realtor talked this morning and got all the kinks worked out. AND he might be able to meet her there tomorrow and move in right away!! At least that is the current plan. Keep your fingers crossed. It looks like we will be moving into a small 3 bedroom 2 bath ranch with a itty bitty backyard. However, it's in a very nice, quiet neighborhood and on a cul-de-sac. And of course being in SC, the neighborhood is on a golf course. We don't back up to it, but the neighbors across the street do! Tad will be thrilled to be able to play more golf and within walking distance!

On the other front we had a so-so day. Ev had a rough night and got up super eary, so she and I napped later during the morning while the big girls enjoyed watching Kung Fu Panda. We tried to go to the local children's museum, but silly mommy forgot her billfold at home, and in it was the museum pass. I completely forgot to put it back in the car after I got it out last night to book Tad a hotel room. So, I had to load everyone back in the car, drive all the way home and try again. It was a frustrating experience, but they had a blast at the museum. Later today they got to play at Nana and Papa T's while I ran some errands. One of them was to pick up their dance costumes. Ella's is a beautiful pink/green with a tutu- she LOVES it!!! Emery's is black with pink polka dots, and is pants since she is in a tumbling routine. She is NOT happy about the pants!!

The crying over daddy didn't happen as much today. It was mostly tonight when they got to talk to him on the phone. Ella was sobbing again, and Emery crawled into a ball on the bed crying her little eyes out too. I can't even begin to explain how much this hurts me to watch, listen, and endure. I can't do anything to make them feel better, they just want their daddy. I know it will get easier, but it just feels like pieces of my heart are ripped out each time. I miss him too, and hearing it through them just makes the ache worse. It will be an extremely joyous occasion when we do see him again. I just try to think of that.

Well we are all tuckered out, so we are calling it a night! Good night!
