Patiently Waiting

Yeah, right.

The last 5 days have been tough, although fun. I've been trying to affectionately call it, "girl time".

M. unexpectedly had to go out of town for work last Wednesday. He found out on Tuesday afternoon. Not much time to prepare. We quickly packed him up Tuesday night, after calling our childcare to change Miss O.'s schedule for the rest of the week. M. has gone out of town before, but usually with a lot of notice and never for more than 3 days.

Boy, am I ready for him to come home.

Miss O. and I are hanging out, and we've done some fun things over the last few days. I won't lie, though, I'm exhausted. Between working all day, entertaining Miss O. in the evenings, cooking, cleaning, and keeping the house running, I'm asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.

We're both hoping that this trip ends up being fruitful.

There is an opportunity for M. to receive a big promotion. Big enough that I could possibly stop working full time OR working at all. Considering the company I work for just filed bankruptcy this week, the timing could not be better.

Fingers crossed.
