(As demonstrated, by my day of moping announced on Facebook. Thank you awesome friends for all of your sweet comments!)
We can't wait to see him in 8 days (4 weeks is TOO long people. Too. Long.)
Looking at pictures on my phone of Drake & I over the past few weeks makes me smile.
We are the best of friends lately...
which means we love each other AND we irritate each other just like best friends do! :)
Here are some GLIMPSES of just the 2 of us on our adventures-
*Before & After the fountain at City Creek Center
*McDonalds for dinner (which I now love for their playground, and I found an awesome salad there, and we eat out way too often lately, and I don't care what anyone thinks) :)
*"Hold me Mommy"
*Filling in for Dad at the gorgeous green driving range
*Bear River games with family
*Cheap tubby fun
And a huge thank you to these people below who really made my day today.
*A picnic with Granny in our backyard after the one-thousandth time watching him while I worked(and a little copycat)
*And a "date" with good friends who made me laugh, smile, and realize that life is A-OK.
Goodnight to our favorite California Daddy far away!
We know this is harder on you than anyone.
XOXOXOXO

blegh! that's awful! mike's been gone a week now, and it's torture- especially with working, too! elle hasn't gone to sleep without crying in months (3 months 3 days, but who's counting? :) also, she screams and screams when i leave for work, "don't leave too, mommy!" single parenthood is rough!!! i totally feel for you- you have to go MUCH longer before seeing your hubby! hang in there!! "they" say it'll all be a distant memory soon:)
Linds, this is heartbreaking, and I say you are handling it better than most...better than I would anyway :) it is amazing how independent you are until you start caring so much about this other person, that when they leave, you kind of don't know what to do with yourself. Good luck with the next week, you can do it! It is all a means to an end.
I feel you. My husband is gone so much even though we sleep under the same roof. Gone all day, then has practice, then works 16 hours a week, and then has clinic, ect, ect. I feel like it never ends and yes single parenting is hard especially with 3 rowdy boys. You can do it, this too shall pass and it will seem like just a little bump in the road. Notice I am not good about taking my own advice. HUGS!
I cannot imagine imagine being apart for that long! Thinking of you!
Isn't it interesting that when you are happily married you feel like half a person when your man is away? I'm hurting for you, honey, and wish I was closer. I'd give you a big hug and we'd hit Wendy's together! (Even better salad!). Oops, no playground there! McDonald's then! Love you!
