My sweet husband was gone for the entire week on business. I was sad. Our formal book work was put on hold while we entertained ourselves all week.
I have this need to make up for him being gone by making each day a grand adventure. We took a trip to a local museum, went to the park when it wasn’t rainy or snowy, had lunch at IKEA, went to the library, played lots of games, watched movies, read books, snuggled. In the end… we still missed Daddy.
I realized that I don’t do well when something disrupts my schedule. There really is no reason that his being gone should have prevented us from going about our week in a completely normal fashion. I suppose that our family dynamic shifted just enough while he was gone that it didn’t make sense for us to keep our days the same. I am glad that we didn’t. The change was nice.
Monday we’ll start fresh. I love getting back into the swing of things.
