Phew!

It's been a long last week. I spent the entire work week in Boston. We were going non-stop from sun-up til bedtime each day. I got home at about 2 am on Friday and still had to drag myself into work. Needless to say, I had to utilize a good chunk of Saturday catching up on sleep. It felt so good to be home, though. Dave had said that Belle stopped eating while I was gone. This surprises me because she hasn't skipped a meal in many months. Now that I'm home, she's eating again. Perhaps they are related? Flattering to think so in any event. The girls greeted me with the biggest hugs and kisses... especially considering it was 2 am! Sequoia was half asleep but still really wanted to jump on me. She tried with all her might but kept falling short or falling down. It was super precious!
Despite having left Dave alone with the girls all week, he still was willing to watch them again Friday night so that I could go hang out with the girls at Scrapmania. He's such a wonderful hubby. I think he's a huge part of the reason I enjoy scrapbooking so much-- it's fun to reminisce through all of our trips. We are planning another Scrapmania outing next Friday. It will be the last for me for many many weeks, so I'm hoping to get alot done so that I can begun the Alaska pages as soon as we return.
Dave's been having a rough time at work and I think the stress of that and not having me around to "distract" him is what has caused him to be sick all weekend. Once he's able to relax or come down from a high stress level, his body tends to shut down. I hope I did a good job of taking care of him and that he makes a speedy recovery. I hate seeing him so upset. I wish it were appropriate for me to walk into his work and put a certain person back in line. I sure would if I could! It bothers me that this individual cares so little about other people that this battle is probably not even affecting him... meanwhile, it's causing a ton of pain for Dave because he does care about people. I will keep praying for them.
