Boy Scout Widow

It is 10:18 pm. Rob is on yet *another* camp out with the "Scout Boys" (as Kate calls them). What does this mean for me? One more night of no sleep...I never sleep well while he's gone. Both girls are asleep, finally. I wish I could fall asleep. My only hope is to get so completely exhausted that I'm falling asleep at the computer. Obviously that's not happening yet. I'm still playing with this new space. Thanks for introducing me to this Gerb. Now I have one more thing to check everyday during my "puter" time. Now that we have finally (and I stress FINALLY) joined the world of high-speed internet it won't take to long. This would have taken forever with dial-up.
Rob called me from Idaho awhile ago and informed me that his brother, sister-in-law, and their two kids are coming tomorrow to visit Rob's mom who is on a mission in Salt Lake. How nice of him to *inform* me of this slight problem. Problem, you ask? You see, my parents are in town, and not only are they in town...they are staying here, in my house. So, I will have to kick my parents out (to one of my sisters' houses) until they leave. Interesting situation, huh? Oh, and Rob's older sister may be arriving with her new fiance expecting to find a place to stay. So the rest of this week will be oh so fun for me! (Can you sense the sarcasm here?!?!?!?)
Meanwhile I'm still awake, and keep thinking of all the cleaning I could be doing right now. Oh well, this is better than cleaning. Besides, I don't want to wake the kiddos.
