Plague of...grasshoppers?

Where have you guys been??

I miss you all so much!

Oh yeah, I'm the absentee blogger. Figures I can't blame it on everyone else...damn.

Well, here I am in Utah. It's hot, dry and there's some crazy grasshopper infestation. I'm not crazy about taking the credit for that, but it is the worst one in like, 10 years, I think...at least they aren't mutant, zombie grasshoppers!

or are they...?

Anyhow, I've been working like a crazy(er) person. I guess in the whole packing and moving in two weeks mess, I didn't really consider what it was going to mean to go back to work full time. That's a lot of damned hours. And it's much easier in theory than in real life. And there is a lot of crying (AJ too, it isn't ALL me)
I actually worked until 3am on Saturday night. Do you know how long it's been since I've been awake at 3am? A hotbed of excitement, I am not.

Hubby is still back in Oregon, packing up the house (poor thing, he got all the hard work). We are hoping he might be here by Thursday. He and the boy miss each other so much. We call him every night at bedtime and talk on the speaker phone. It's pretty sad. I don't think the boy is very happy about this long-distance family thing.

All-in-all, things seem to be going ok. I'm not super crazy about leaving my boy so much, but working is good, right? The adjustment will be easier when Daddy shows up...

Hows the reception from here? Do I sound different?
