Oh, Gayle, how sad that Rowdy is missing Gary. I'm sure that's hard for you. They DO know when you're leaving. I know for us it's on Sunday morning when we go to church. I don't ususally get up and spend so much time getting ready to leave.......but they've figured it out. They don't eat very much or drink because they know that they're going to be in their kennel until we get home. It sounds like you have a wonderful sitter to be with the boys while you're gone!!

I'm glad that you're anxious to see Gary's family. It will be a hard weekend but they'll be there to love and support you. My thoughts and prayers will be with you.

I have two kids that are ready to drive me crazy!!! They have been arguing, tattling, hitting, and screaming. Dae Lynn and I have both about had it. She took them over to Damon so they could ride in the tractor for awhile but by the time they got there the tractor had broke down so she brought them back home. At least it's almost time for naps!!!

I worked on laundry yesterday and I'm planning on finishing it up today and working on getting my bedroom back in order from shampooing the carpet. It's so hard to do while the kids are around!!!
