J. left this morning. He is in New York for the draft this weekend, so we are on our own all week long.

*sigh*

I miss him already and he has only been gone since 9am this morning. Who am I kidding? I was missing him as I was kissing him goodbye.

I really have no right to complain. I know he hates being away from the girls (and me, too, I hope!) as much as they hate him being away.  And he kept telling me we should come out for the week and explore New York, which of course would have meant not having to be away from him again.

But, I just didn’t have it in me. Now that we have the girls, even when we only had Em, it just gets so complicated traveling with kids. We still do a lot of it, and I do enjoy it, but it is A LOT of work.

AND I just got the girls into a routine in the new house. We are all kind of getting some sleep and starting to mellow out. PLUS I knew that J. would be working all week, and April in New York? Well, it isn’t supposed to be much warmer than 50 degrees all week, with a pretty good chance of rain many of the days. The thought of pulling two, tired girls around a rainy city trying to find indoor stuff to do…it is exhausting just thinking about it, you know?

Excuses, I know. So instead, I’ll just complain, miss J., and count the days til he comes back to us! Or maybe…I’ll get the rest of my scrapbooking stuff organized and get to scrappin’! I have so many great ideas and photos to catch up on.

It is a nice thought. We’ll see…
