I'm a Wimp.

For the first time in six and a half-ish years of marriage, I have to sleep in my own bed without my husband. That makes me sad and nervous and scared. If that makes me a wimp, so be it-I'm still sad. However, I am happy that Jared got to hang out with my brothers-its pretty cool that he feels comfortable enough with my siblings to camp in the middle of nowhere and then play 18 holes of frisbee golf. Talk about the ultimate bonding experience, eh? So in order to quell my sadness, I will be hosting my own movie marathon tonite, and probably hauling Karianna in bed with me when I get tired enough to fall asleep. That's for tonite.

For now, I'll just share a quick Karianna story that is funny enough to make me laugh rather than think about not seeing Jared tonite. I was giving Karianna a bath yesterday and I needed her to scoot over to one side of the tub to make room for JD. The side I wanted to sit in had a tiny black spot; Karianna, being the OCD child that she is every now and then, didn't want to sit over there because of the spot. I pointed out a sponge that was floating in the area I wanted her to sit and told Karianna she needed to sit by the sponge. Instead of scooting over to the other side of the tub where I wanted her, Karianna leaned across the tub, grabbed the sponge, and put it right next to her belly without moving an inch. Then she looked at me and smiled very sweetly, obviously daring me to challenge the fact that she was now sitting by the sponge. How could I argue?

There we go, made me laugh again! Hopefully that little story will keep the home-bound-blues away for a while...
