Six and a wake up!!

This weekend is going to go by too fast. I have one week to get myself and my home ready. Next Saturday I drive out to OH to meet my ex-husband at about the 2/3 mark to get my kids back. Yay! I have missed them soooo much. I have not seen them in over 8 weeks. It has been nice to not have to be responsable for them and be able to work late and have fun on weekends and sleep in when I needed to, but, to be honest, as much as their father loves them, I don't think he is as good a parent as I am. I guess it is that mother thing. No one else is as good as us. But I will never deny that he loves them. But I got so much final organization to do in this apartment, especially in my office area. And I need to go do some grocery shopping for myself for this week, and then next week, I will take the kids shopping when we get back so they can help. With the kids being back, it won't bother me to actually cook at night, it won't be me cooking for one person, I will be feeding all the food out. More motivation. Better food. And I am getting a little more daring in my cooking, more willing to try new stuff, instead of just the easy stuff that I am sick of. And I don't think finding that balance between mother and career soldier is going to be too hard to find. It seems to be coming naturally in my preperations for the kids to come back.
I can't wait. Just six more day. Whoo-hoo!!
