The Jordans- Cherish, Sean, Autumn and Emelia

True to form, life never goes quite like I expect it to. This morning, Autumn told me her throat and head were hurting. I checked her temperature: 99.8. AH! Now the great debate whether to send her to school. I told her that after I ran, I would come up to the school and check on her. I drove over to the trail head, but I just could not justify (or come up with the energy) 11 miles. I called the doctor's office and got the girl an appointment to get her throat swabbed. I picked Autumn up and took her over to Iris. She tested negative for strep. Actually, once I got to the school, Autumn did not look quite so bad anymore. I took her back to school. I did some studying. Some writing. Some lawn mowing. Some cleaning of the backyard. The raccoon's left a mess for me to clean up on the back porch. I also attempted to clean out the pool, but man, that was more work than I was expecting. I'm kind of freaking out about this message I got from t

Trying to get over the disappointment of your flight being changed. I hope to sleep well. I have a big run in the morning. I slowed myself down. Our Raccoon problem. I guess Autumn is going to Maine. This came in the mail addressed to Autumn. She took the map, unfolded it and studied it for a while. I wouldn't mind going back to Maine. Your current wife and favorite airman. XOXO 184 days

This is how grown ups do their homework. I've been studying and trying to just get a little ahead in my studies so that on Friday, when my world gets turned upside down, I can take some down time! I love you. I cannot wait to see you. Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo 183 days (and it is almost over!).

Shark mouth. This is exactly what was happening with me. I'm going to give this until the end of the week and if those baby teeth don't come out, I'm going to call the dentist. My dentist had to pull all but 3 of my baby teeth out because of my shark mouth. The thing is, they look pretty loose, but shouldn't they becoming out before the adult teeth pop up?? Max the fish gave me quite the scare this morning. "Cherish. I hate you." After I took the girls to school, I came back to Autumn's room to figure out what to do with him. I realized he was actually not dead, but still alive. School pictures. I don't think I'm buying this one. Autumn's looks pretty good, but again, I don't know if it is $14 worthy or not. I made pot roast for dinner and invited Alison over. She came bearing gifts. Millie was in a mood. I made her eat a piece of meat (which she wouldn't at first because it was brown. Like poop.) a

I've been going through something the last few days. It's difficult to talk about. Actually, you are the only one I would feel comfortable talking to about it. But nonetheless, I feel sad. I feel like something has been lost. I don't know why I feel that way, but I do. I feel like I am shedding layers of myself and I'm not really sure what is left. I think it is a shame that people make it their mission in life to spread unkindness. To search someone out and tell them something hateful and not even explain themselves. But the thing is, that person has no significance in my life, so why let them take from me? Or you? What was meant to divide, did the opposite. I choose you. I would choose you a hundred times over. At the end of the day, First thing in the morning, When I'm happy, When I'm sad, When I'm hurting, When I'm alone, I choose you. I love you. Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo 181 Days.
