I want my Honey back!

Nathan is in Seattle this weekend. He left yesterday, Thursday, afternoon (about 4:00PM) and will not be back until "after 10:00" Sunday night. Oh I miss already! We have had an eventful time already too.

First we had a thunderstorm. It was actually happening when Nathan left, but it got worse after he left. The power went out for a short while and I got all the candles and flashlights ready, just in case. Luckily the power came back and nothing ever happened after that. We had a nice evening.

The kids moved the chairs around to watch the lightning. They were listening to me and "staying away from the windows". So cute!

Then this morning I was making the children pancakes for breakfast before school. I was STUPID and burned by arm on the hot skillet. Don't ask how, just know that I heard the "sizzle" of my skin and tears were made. Oh well, life goes on. I am actually thinking a lot about NieNie right now. How she can live with burns all over her body is beyond me. I would love to meet this woman someday. The love she has for her husband and children and the faith she continues to have after all she has been through. Truly inspiring. But after dealing with the pain of one little burn that is just bigger than a quarter on my arm for one day, I cannot imagine the pain she goes through every day!

My wee little burn, just moments afterwards. Not yet blistered up and broken.

Tonight I took the children swimming. I covered my burn with some ointment, cotton bandage and taped a square of plastic (I cut a piece of a Ziploc baggie) over it to keep it clean. Then I didn't submerse it because it is now blistered and cracked open. I didn't want to get it infected. (Listening to my dear friend, Dianne's advice!) Anyway, the kids had a great time. We met up with my friend, Jennifer, and some of her kids.

Now the children are in bed and I am waiting for my Honey to call me and say good night. I have only talked to him four times today. I MISS HIM!
