our crazy week

i suppose it's time to let you in on our week. this past week was one we were looking forward to. dave's parents were going to drive out from IN to visit us so that we could save $ since we usually drive out there 3 or 4 times a year. we were very excited and had our itinerary all planned out. what meals we were gonna have, when dave would take bob golfing and when i'd take sandy out to all the garden stores and antique shops. then, we got a phone call around 6:30am monday morning, just before we left for work. dave's grandma had died the night before. it was bob's mom, and the last grandparent to go. everything changed. the viewing was wednesday and the funeral thursday. bob and sandy wouldn't come out, and instead, dave was going to drive to MI to be with the family. since he already had wednesday and friday off, he was able to arrange to take thursday off too. right away we both knew it would be better if i didn't go. you see, being pregnant has its disadvantages. like, having to pee every 15 min. or having to eat every hour. the trip was long enough, i would just make it longer. it would be faster and cheaper for dave to go alone. which meant we would be facing the first time we have been apart since being married. now, i know to some of you think this is no big deal. you probably think i should've just sucked it up and dealt with it. but i have always dreaded the day we'd have to be apart. i love my husband! why would i want to spend a night away? and this would be 2 nights and 3 days. so, our plans changed. we needed new tires for the car so this just made dave make time to go get them. 4 new tires are not cheap. then he needed to get a haircut. if any of you have seen dave lately, you know what i mean when i say he was getting wings. his hair kinda fans out behind his ears and they look like wings. not very sexy. so he bought tires and got a hair cut. and then he called me to tell me they cut it a bit shorter then he thought. how short? i asked. i dislike short hair on dave very much. he knows this. he likes it longer anyway. he said it was really really short. that i would probably not like it, no, i definately wouldn't like it. great. i have to say goodbye to my husband for the first time and if he crashed and died, i'd have to bury him with super short hair that i don't like. and remember, i'm pregnant. i have pregnancy hormones dictating my every emotion. so when he walked in the door, i didn't even recognize him. i was shocked. it was almost buzzed. (sorry no picture yet). and then...i cried. i cried because his hair was too short and i cried because he was leaving for 3 days and i cried because bob and sandy couldn't come in, and just because i'm pregnant. and then i felt better! and the time away wasn't so bad after all. i stayed with my parents so i wouldn't go insane at home alone with no car and no husband. he got home safely on friday night. there was another tournament at the country club so he was supposed to work all day yesterday and today. thankfully he was able to find someone to come in at 4 yesterday so he came home and rested. but today he is exhausted. he's been at work since 6 am and will not be done until after9 tonight. my poor husband is worn out! good news is that even though dave's grandma died, they were expecting it. and she was saved. she knew where she was going. she died with a smile on her face.
