When Brian travels, I feel like everything is harder--like I've lost an arm, and am still trying to do all the things I normally do, plus what he does--it's manageable but challenging.
This week with Tritan gone to Scout Camp, I feel like I've lost my sense of taste. We had the Fourth of July. We had a great time with a friend and her kids (tried BBQ'ing ribs!) and watched fireworks at the local high school. Did you notice the layer of white fireworks down low, then the red in the middle and blue on top? my husband noted. I hadn't. I felt like it was too hard to concentrate.
Brian's birthday was this week, but it was pathetic. How can we celebrate anything without the whole family?
I put the kabash on everything fun except for shopping at IKEA, some barbeque, and a trip to the ice cream store because how can we go to the amusement park or the zoo without T-man?
We missed him babysitting, and mowing the lawn (Brian had to do it for the first time in years!), and playing with Apollo, and playing Roblox with Paris, and his computer acumen, and his appetite (too many leftovers this week!). Apollo has been counting down the days til he gets back and Paris announced last night that the first thing he was going to do when Tritan got home was give him a big hug.
I'm sure he had a great time. And hopefully next time it'll be easier. But with only hours left til he gets home, I get wait til life is full of Tritan's flavor again!
yay for family togetherness!! we missed you guys at church on Sunday, it just wasnt the same!! hope you are having fun!!
