One is the loneliest number...

Today was a pretty normal day. That dratted rain was here again. My hair is extra poofy! All kiddos seem well for tonight, just hoping stay that way for school tomorrow. I hate those unexpected "sick kid" mornings. Bruiser is a bit stuffy and snotty though. Fingers are crossed and here's to hoping...
Let's see... we started off with me sleeping til 10! I didn't go to bed until 4 AM so that wasn't spectacular. Only reason I woke up was because little guy was awake. Pinky slept til 1 and Bruiser and Princess got up not too long after Bubba... I just decided to let them sleep. Maybe their little immune systems needed it.
Then I started cleaning again. The rooms I cleaned yesterday, dirty again today. This is standard and I am so tired of it. I got on the scale and saw I gained 6 of those pounds I lost back... and you can tell. They are all in the tummy. So, I decided to make some cupcakes to celebrate...
I found 3 coupons for Thrift Town. 3.00 off your purchase of 10.00 or more so I spent just under 40.00 and got the little ones some warm weather stuff and Cici a shirt. And my frequent shopper punch card is filled! So next time I get 10.00 off a 20.00 or more purchase! :) At the rate they are growing and with the messes they make... I don't want to spend a lot on their clothes. And the stuff I got was actually pretty decent. The kids all stayed home and I went there, to get a newspaper and a dustpan (the old one got broken) and some Church's chicken for lunch. I didn't feel like messing up the kitchen again by cooking. I also stopped at O' Reily's and got brake lights- forgot to mention that my brother told me last night my right brake light was out. He said he'd come by tomorrow and put it in for me.
The newspaper subscription was supposed to start today. So I was truly disappointed to not see it on the front lawn and to not be able to get in touch with customer service on a Sunday. So I emailed them and asked to start it up next Sunday. I enrolled in Auto pay or whatever... So whats the freaking problem? Where's my paper?
I half paid attention to the Cowboys game... they lost to Denver by the way... while I was making dinner. I decided to do that pork roast by marinating it in that Hawaiian marinade hubby bought. It turned out pretty good. I was also attempting to clean out the fridge. I got so much fast food last week I didn't get to use all of my veggies. So they must be cooked in the next few days. So I made cabbage with it and rice. The meat was pretty good. I was wondering how Hawaiian pork would come out... :) I have got to download making dinner to my robot's database so I can stop trying to avoid cooking after work... Robot mode would work awesome for that function.
Lots of facebook posts today regarding getting phone calls and emails from hubbies... Though I was honestly genuinely happy for them, each post drove a tiny nail through my heart. I didn't hear from my hubby today... This is the thing that underlies anything else I am feeling today. I was hoping hubby would get the day off. I was hoping for a phone call or an email or something! But I guess I was the only one who didn't get at least 5 minutes on the phone... Or 5 emailed words... I love you, hubby. No matter what. But I needed that phone call. I feel super lonely today. I feel like an orphan or something. Hence the title of this blog... One is the loneliest number, because I feel I may be the only one who didn't connect with their Seabee today.
That call would've put me on a train to happy going into this work week.
I don't know what else to say. I guess that covers it all. Not like every day is a new adventure around these parts... But we do what we can... I am going to try really hard to count my blessings in the morning and not to dwell on anything that will shade my world that Navy blue... I think hubby knows I am not happy unless I am a little sad. It seems I like having that dark part of me. It makes me creative... but I really do hate being blue... It just makes the days that much longer. This rain and cold weather doesn't help. I just want to cuddle up with you, hubby! For now... I am just one... lonely... number...
I miss you, hubby!
