DH got home and MIL took the boys hack to our home. I am not there but yet I feel sooooooo much better. They are so big though.
DH said he was so happy to see them that the only thing he could do was choke back his tears. He said they have been terrors and he can't bring himself to yell at them just yet because he feels like they died and were brought back to life or something like that. I guess he is trying to say that without them, he felt a loss. Can't blame him.
Funny how our children are like that.
The boys' sense of humor has changed. They went from quirky to sarcastic. Both of them. Their mother isn't very sarcastic but I think they might have just developed it on their own. Or maybe it is a defense to being separated for so long.
DH said the hardest thing is treating them as SS9 and SS6 instead of little ones. He knows they are older but he is stuck in a time warp. I feel bad for him because he is a single parent again. But this time he is 32 not 25. Thank God we all grow with time.
If I was the same woman now at 30 that I was at 18, I think I would be in a world of hurt.
Does anyone feel like they liked who they were when they were younger? That is more rhetorical I guess.
Anyway, I am just glad he is home and the family is somewhat back together.
If only I could get out of here a little earlier .... Christmas is asking too much but what about before next summer? I don't think I can take another summer here .... Phew.
Woohoo!
At least they have half of their family back . . . and your day will come soon I hope! Sarcasm seems to be a phase a lot of kids go thru, endearing isn't it! You hang in there! glad to hear the good news!

Kids are the Best and Worst Things We can do to Ourselves. When We have nothing else worth living for, We'll go on, for Them, but Oh How We Miss Our Freedom...LOL
I'm so glad your SKs are back with their dad
But it is going to be tough on all of you to heal them when you are so far away still. Any chances you can get your return date moved up due to family issues? Or at least a trip home?

I am so over the top happy for you.

Cactus I am soooo happy for you!!
I know it has to be so hard to be stuck over there. But now maybe at least you can have a little more contact with them and you know they are all safe and together. Crossing my fingers and toes that you will get to come home sooner than expected.
