Day 11 (Sorry Erin)

Today Keith has been gone 11 days (you gotta start somewhere). I will be the first to admit we miss him dearly. But the Air Force has prepared me for times such as these.

So far I've:

* sent a fax. This is a big deal because I am secretly afraid of fax machines. I mean, really, how does a paper WITH pictures go through the phone line? I don't get it, and find it to be the creepiest techie invention yet. Don't rebuke my argument with the tiny hand-held computers (smart phones). Those are just magic.

*scanned a couple of documents and saved them according to Keith's instructions. A feat within it's self

*filed our web taxes for both businesses

*returned phone calls and scheduled estimates I will be doing myself. I'm kicking ass at the CEO stuff.

*mailed off crashpad leases

*shipped off Keith's broken camera (thank heaven for insurance!)

*cleaned out the pool skimmers, and filled

*watered my flowers

*checked the mail. I ehat checking the mail. In fact, I didn't even know what mailbox number we were before Keith left. Not my job. And those bills can sit there! Oh, speaking of... I should go pay those. The next place we move will HAVE to have a mailbox at the end of the driveway. End of discussion.

*Kept up with a clean house, fed my children, grocery shopped, and basically held the house together (which as every woman knows requires too much paper and ink to list)

*oh, and answered questions such as "Who was the first man in the world?" "Well then, who was the third man?" "Why did God come back as a baby?" "Does that mean we're all related?" "Where are my shoes?" "Can I play my itouch?" and "Is the tooth fairy real because Morgan says mommies sneak in your room and put money down while they steal your tooth?"

Overall, I feel like I've got a real handle on things. Basically:

no need to apologize ;) I stole it from Erin Strong.

You are awesome. You've done more in your 11 days then I have in 126.

The fax thing makes me laugh so hard!
