Back to work

Dan is sadly, for both of us, back at work this week. Its a hard week for both of us, him to get used to being away from us for 8 hours a day, and us not having him here all day. We'd really all rather be together. Too bad retirement doesn't happen when the kids are young, and then you work after they're gone. Although I'm sure we'll enjoy our twilight years just the two of us, and hopefully with visits from kids and grandkids.

James is up in his room, I took out the bust of my pregnant belly from his room. He's no longer a baby. He's a little boy. He's starting to become interested in the differences between boys and girls. "Mommy you don't have a penis". Nope. Let me see. Nope. :) I remember in October when he first saw his little friend naked, a girl, he was jaw drop shocked - staring at her "she doesn't have a penis!!" lol. Raising 3 boys is gonna be a ride!

My back has been causing me pain, especially my side and around the front. It has felt like I was having a heart attack on the wrong side. I saw a massage therapist and also a chiropractor. They all know what side I hold the kids on the most. They can tell.

I'm staying on top of the mail. That's my plan. Process mail as soon as it comes in. Then it'll never pile up.

James is upstairs playing with all of his little cars. He's very cute he's heard saying "Okay, have a nice time there, truck. See you later, have a good time Truck". He's just adorable. He's got a great imagination. He lies on the floor and gets right into the space, creating his own world. I'd like to give him more experiences for him to draw on. So far pretty much every airplane and helicopter is going to China. :) (Dan was there for 2 weeks a few months ago)
