Well, now that we have four kids, having him gone is not easy. At all. He's been gone since Thursday morning and I am counting down the seconds until he comes home. I know that he helps me get a tiny pinch of my sanity back when he comes home from work, and helps shoulder the burden of bedtime and homework and fussy babies. But having him gone really makes me realize how much I miss him and really need that little break.
While he's been gone, I've done my best to entertain the troops and provide some level of fun without pulling all my hair out. Last night, we went out for ice cream cones at Arctic Circle and played with friends in the play area. Tonight we celebrated Mandy's birthday at Chick-Fil-A and let the kids play there too. One more day of flying solo until my companion is home, and I can't wait. Please, time, hurry.
