Just my thoughts

My brother moved out when he got married in May. He was paying for the internet. Consequently, he canceled our internet. That's fair. We knew it was coming. He told us. But what we didn't know, was when we called Comcast to subscribe ourselves, it would take a week and a half for them to come out to the house. The first few days without internet were weird. I kept thinking I'll go check my email...or my blogs...or go look up information about something I just thought of. But then I would remember. I didn't realize how often I go to my computer and "look at" stuff. After the first few days I didn't think about it as often...I did check in on everything once when I was at my mother-in-law's one afternoon. I thought it would just take a minute, but everyone had updated their blogs, and I had about a 100 emails to sort through so it took me about an hour! Whew! Anyway, so we are now "online" and back in business as of last friday. It's now tuesday. I am finally posting something new.
I am a single mom this week. Matt is at Scout camp until saturday. He's up at Bear Lake and he can get cell phone service so we text all the time and he calls about three times a day. Excessive? I don't think so...once in the morning to say hello...once in the afternoon to make sure I'm doing alright and am still sane...then once at bedtime to say good night. He's the sweetest. I love him. I really rely on him a lot. Everyday I look forward to him coming home...and since I've been pregnant and sick...I'll be honest...it's because he will take over with Kooy. Because I need a break. But since he's been gone and I know he's not coming home at 3 o'clock, it actually been okay. Which leads me to think maybe it's all mental. I only NEED a break because I know I can get one. And now since I know I can't have one...I don't really think about it and all is fine. Does that mean I am taking advantage of my husband? Am I being selfish? I don't know. I think he kind of knows this is how it is and just indulges me. That's why I love him...he's so sweet and treats me like a queen. I love him for other things too of course. It's not the ONLY reason...that would be selfish. :o)
Anyway, so I am looking for some flip flops for Kooy. I heard they have some cute ones at Old Navy but when I went today the selection was very minimal. The lady said that the Jordan Landing store usually has more and the kids section is bigger. Maybe we'll go out there tonight. It's really hot outside and my back hurts already from pushing and lugging a loaded shopping cart all over the way too big Wal-Mart. I really missed Matt then too because usually he pushes the cart. I finally bought some new sunscreen. We've been using the same stuff we bought back when Kooy was a baby. I heard you are supposed to buy a new bottle every year because the effectiveness goes away the longer it sits on the shelf. But last year it seemed to work fine so we didn't bother. But this summer, we've noticed. Nobody's getting burned to a crisp but it's not blocking the way a sunscreen probably should. So now I will use for a maximum of two summers...of course if it lasts that long...then buy a new one. I've got to save money where ever I can. It took $67! to fill up my gas tank today. Luckily I don't drive my van around that much and it will last me two weeks or more but still...that's a lot of money!
Anyway, how's that for a bunch of random thoughts.
