Day 31

Well we have made it a month. WOW how time flies. I am still in Iowa and getting ready to head HOME!!!! I can not wait to sleep in my own bed with my own things and all that good stuff. I think the kids are not so ready but I think they will be happy to get back into their routine. There is not one when you come home for the holidays. We have done really well. My oldest is spending the night with his Best Friend and first thing in the morning I will pick him up and head for my sisters. I got to talk to the hubby today. It is always good to hear his voice. I hope that talking to us helps with his morale. He has seemed kind of stressed and all the last couple times I have talked to him. I think it helps to know we are all ok back here and doing our best to keep things going on this end. I plan to start working on a box for him first thing when I get back. He needs that too. I have a couple Christmas presents and such that people have sent home with me. I did pick him up one of his Favorite candy bars from home here. We can only get them here. I do however need to go to the store before I leave to get some BBQ sauce for the kids beings that they only like that one and some salsa that is made around here. Well Happy New Year everyone I am sure I will get to blog again when I get home.
