Vacancy

About 5 minutes after James left for the airport I realized how alone I was. I looked around and the house was too quiet, too empty. Even for Thursday at 10 pm. Luckily I have a HUGE sewing project that I have thrown myself into. Unfortunately that will only keep me occupied until tomorrow afternoon. I have so much to do this weekend to catch up after kind of taking the last week or so off from life in general (and my calling too..) but my motivation is gone. To Washington DC, in fact. And won't be back until Monday evening. And I know that's not a terribly long time, but it feels like it's going to feel like a long time, if that makes ANY sense.

On top of it all, I am insanely jealous that James gets to go to DC for a weekend and I don't. Not just because of Aaron's wedding, though I'd love to be there, but because he gets to spend 4 days with some of his best friends in the world in one of the coolest cities in the nation, historically speaking. All without having to worry about any responsibilities. What wouldn't I give for that? I'm not really sure. Anyway, I have a big day ahead of me and I am kind of looking forward to having the bed (well, really the covers) all to myself. James, I miss you so much already. Have fun, but not too much.

I feel your pain! I can't stand being away from my hubby, for any amount of time, either!

Desta, I know exactly how you feel! My better half is leaving today for a few days too! :( It is lonely when he's gone..even with 4 kids around. So, we can be lonely moms this weekend!
bummer.
