tired, but its all good

Cary came up to help me move from the hotel into the apartment. I really really needed him and am SO thankful he came up to help. I was not feeling well all morning,  it was nice just to lay there like a lump and have hubby do it all. I kinda felt bad, as all the trips we have ever taken before this, I was in charge of packing. He was an absolute trooper though and handled it like a pro. I didn't lift a finger.

I am missing my little ones like crazy right now and since Ben had scarlet fever and I didn't do so hot with that silly infusion thing, I can't come home this week. I am holding up, as are my boys, but man I miss them and they are having a rough time as well. I won't be able to see Carly off either, which kinda stinks, considering how much she has done for me and our family. From the bottom of my heart my sweet Carly, I thank you. ( that just doesn't seem to even come close to covering it does it?)

The apartment is just lovely. It is on the third floor of a gated Mediterranean style villa, and overlooks a very nice pool.  It is right off Santa Monica Blvd in the hills of West Hollywood. I am just  SO grateful to be in a nice, comfortable and SAFE place during all this.  I have to catch myself all the time when I think thoughts of "Oh the kids would just love this!" No kids allowed. :(   I told Nathan that and he was dumbfounded. He asked " But WHY would here be a place that doesn't allow kids?!"  I replied that I had  NO idea because kids bring the joy into an otherwise boring place!

Case and point, the other day Nathan was CONVINCED Carly's dog Grrr was a robot dog impostor that had stolen Carly's phone.  He kept poking this poor dog with a stick until it was finally revealed that Nathan had been the last one to play with said phone and it and it had fallen under the couch cushions.... Now I ask you, where can you EVER find that in a world without kids?!
