Drill Weekends

I always say how much I dislike drill weekends. The week is long (especially this week) and we look forward to having a couple of days of quality time with Daddy home. Drill weekends keep us from having this. You would think after a deployment that I wouldn't complain about a couple of extra days of work, days where Michael even gets to come home at night, but I do and I am. No, drill weekends are not the worst thing in the world, but this is my place to say what I'm thinking so that's what I'm doing. :) I do try to look at the positives, and this drill weekend was very easy to see some good things. First, Nate woke up happy and ate a little for breakfast and appeared to be feeling much better. Finally. I am so happy that my little guy is getting better. His cough is still horrible, and I mean horrible. If it continues I might just take him in again to get checked, even if he does seem to be doing better. Second, my sister and her family came up for the sole purpose of watching Nate so that Michael and I could go out to dinner. This was a very much needed break after the long week we've had at the house. We went out to dinner, went to Kohl's and Target, and stopped at DQ for some ice cream. Just those few hours were enough to rejuvenate me and lift my spirits. I woke up this morning energized and feeling good. It's amazing what a little break will do. It is also supposed to be nice out this week and so I am looking forward to finally getting out of the house with Nate. Things are good.
