I'm lonely. And not for just anybody- I want my husband home and I want him home now. I want to tell him all the nuances of my day and have him not think I'm funny, just like always. I think I'm funny, but I'm bored with myself at this point.
It's over halfway through L's trip (hooray!), and being a single parent is sucking the life right out of me. I'm a freak, so I stay up until 2 every morning. With the time change, Hatchling is getting up at 6, so I'm not getting much sleep
at all. I don't know if Hatchling is stressed out because Daddy is gone or if he is picking up some vibe from me, but he is a super scaredy cat this week. His little shrieks of fear every time he hears a noise (whether there was one or not), are grating on my nerves. He is getting up after I tuck him in to turn his closet light on, and he told me yesterday that Daddy keeps the darkness out of the house. Poor baby.
Speaking of being a scaredy cat, our washing machine just got unbalanced and made a big noise, and I nearly died of a heart attack... I guess we know where Hatchling gets it from, eh?Saturday night seems very far away.
Oh, and the washing machine thing? Yeah, those machines have minds of their OWN! They wait for a really bad time to go off balance, I'm certain.
I'm praying the rest of the week goes by quickly, but not for reasons like sick children...just because it should go by quickly for you!! (Spend it planning some lovely welcome home surprise and shop for necessary details...stay busy in a good way!)
I hate it when Rich has to go away, so I feel your pain. Hope the next 1/2 of his trip goes quickly for YOU.

When Casey is gone, I do craaazy things, like shave our son bald (remember when I did that?), or paint my couch with house paint. He has learned not to leave me--it's better if I do the leaving in the family.
Hopefully, L will be home soon, and then you and Hatchling can get some sleep!!
