Well, Aaron is leaving tomorrow to go to Bangkok. He’ll be gone awhile and I’m looking forward to about the first two days. I enjoy the silence and I am always SO glad to have him come home when he’s been gone like that.
However, with a sick kid, I’m not exactly looking forward to the clinging that I am sure I will experience, not to mention caring for his every single need. AJ usually does bath time and that is when I have a few minutes to myself during the day. But, L has been going to bed a little earlier which gives me a little time in the evenings to sit and do nothing or whatever it is I decide I want to do. On a completely unrelated note, this will be helpful with the time change coming up. My wonderful sister reminded me of this today. I am glad she did. I would never have thought about it…though I remember it being a pain in the ass to try to get up “earlier” in the morning when I was a kid.
So anyway, the worst part of AJ being gone is that my lifeline goes with him. The upstairs computer, which is “mine,” will be MIA for the next few days. I am already grieving the loss of it. I have no idea how many times I sit down at it during the day to see what is going on in the world. Now I have to go ALL THE WAY DOWNSTAIRS to check. Note that I will not be completely without a computer…just that I have to walk down the stairs to get to it. Am I spoiled or what?
But, my PDA doesn’t work on the computer down there, so we’ll just have to see if I actually get everything done that I’m supposed to do while he’s gone. Since I am a list freak, I suppose I’ll figure out some way to deal.
Ah, the drama.
I am fortunate enough to have Mom coming to stay with me for a few days, pending the resolution of her carpet drama. And, one of my nearest and dearest is going to be here from CA as well. I can’t wait to see her. Last time I saw her I was six months pregnant. I can’t believe it’s been a year!
Anyway, I think I am going to go and eat some ice cream now. It just sounds good. I’m working on my pre-flu weight. Oh, you want to know what kind? Well, I got DQ.
MMMMMM. You know if you moved here you too could have DQ, Heather!
