mini AW
didn't have any AW's yesterday, but I talked to DH this morning & he said that he is able to work from home Mon. & Tues. so he can be home for DS's 1st b-day on Tues.
I know it might seem trival to some, but I know it's hard for him being gone during the week (we're grateful he is employed at least) & Skype helps, so this will be nice for him. He just started a short 3 week project for another company, so that is why he didn't think he'd be able to be home, he's really needed onsite.
He also found out his next assignment is in Bloomington, Minnesota (home of Mall of America). It's been a few years since I've been there, might have to make another trip w/him 
Re: mini AW
That's awesome. I bet he's really excited about being able to be home for your son's birthday. Do you have any special plans for it?
I had no idea he was gone so much.
We did a party w/the family last weekend & we have his 1 yr appt. that morning, but just to be able to be together as a family is fine by me.
Yeah, he's gone M-F, not easy, but it's better than being out of a job still. We still hold hope that soon the company will have work in the Detroit/MI area. I have even more respect for single moms & military wives, I at least get DH for 48hrs each weekend.
I'd be all over that mall of america trip. i've never been but have always wanted to go.
