It was a sad day today (Jan. 15th) ... we took Daddy to the airport today - his flight left at 6 a.m.!! Way too early for my tastes, but we made it with time to spare. It was deja vu all over again - saying goodbye is always hard, but this just felt all too familiar. Olivia asks me, "You know what's in my thinking bubble?" Her response? "I am really going to miss Daddy. I don't want him to go back to work." My response? "That's what's in my thinking bubble, too." :( Breaks my heart. Out of everything, I think that will be the hardest. To have to tell her over and over again where Daddy is, what he is doing, why he can't be at home and that he still loves her very much.
So, today we spent the day just chilling in our pjs. It's now about 8p.m. and the kids are in bed, which is where mommy is headed. I'm exhausted, mentally and physically. We'll get back into our normal routine soon, but today I tried not to think about it and give my brain a break. Tomorrow, I'll have a pity party, probably cry a lot and then I will pick myself up by my bootstraps and jump back on the bandwagon. But we had a great time with Daddy - many posts to follow about our time together - and pictures too - but it was all totally worth it! Literally the highlight of my year! Our time together meant more to me than I can possibly describe. I love him and miss him so much, it's hard to envision life without him. So until, he gets home and completes our family again, we'll hold down the fort. :)
