He's almost home!!

Chad's going to be home in a few hours! I'm so excited I'm about to burst! Oh my goodness you just don't know, you just do not know! It's been 8 1/2 months people, 8 1/2 months since my husband was home! I can not wait until I see his face and feel his arms around me, I know I'll have to fight the boys and who knows maybe Emma. I will have my camera all ready to take pictures of the sweet and precious reunion you can count on that! Oh my I can not wait until I see him, safe and sound back in Germany! It's 3 AM here and I'm sooo insanely wired! So I got our room cleaned up more than it was. Trust me I still wouldn't let any of you except for Emily and Tami in my room right now, well probably B too, but well all 3 are in the US and none of them were willing to fly over and help me out. Emily acts like being pregnant is some big issue or something, plus she said all she'd do is sit on my bed. Humph what kind of help is THAT? ROFL!!
Got to love her, what else would I do with that girl?
The kitchen is clean! I swept and mopped it and removed all the recycling. I took 2 bags of recycling out and a bag of trash out at oh 1 AM! :X There are still a few more things of recycling to go out, the boys will take those out in the morning when they've gotten dressed and had breakfast, before we leave. The bathroom is spotless, you could eat off the floor in there! The dining room is clean and the living room is decent! I got my bed cleaned off and almost all of my clothes hung up. I discovered I need more hangers! I forgot that the boys inherited some of our hangers and well obviously I need to replace those since most of the clothes that were in baskets are now out! I only have a few, but also have dirty clothes that need to be washed, that will be done tomorrow...I'll be using my strong husband to carry down the hamper!! Wahoo! :) I intend to use him! LOL Get your minds out of the gutters (or not! LOL That was just for you, Emily!)
I need to run the vacuum in the morning, figured I'd be a good upstairs and downstairs neighbor and not do that tonight, although I'd prefer to have it done tonight, but not really the appropriate or neighborly thing to do at 3 am. I'm nice like that! LOL

Anyways............... :) I'm hoping I can get some sleep. At this point it'll only be about 4 hours of sleep but a little would be good. I plan to vacuum in the morning, get the kids breakfast and Jacob needs to take a shower too, have them take out the recycling and the boys have to clean up their room some more, and I'm going to straighten up Emma's, since I didn't get to it and the boys have drug out a ton of her toys and they've not done it.

Thanks for the warm thoughts and especially the prayers! The airport is only 30 minutes away, so thankfully we don't have to leave hours ahead of time. Pray for no traffic jams or back ups, please. Pray for a smooth and quick drive to the airport and back!

Oh and I think I may take a nap tomorrow! Wahoo!! LOL
God Bless
