In order to keep myself from eating the pan o' brownies [which EP and I baked today] for dinner, I am blogging... and also to distract myself from my WOE!
Got some awful news tonight. I'm not sure if more warning would have made anything better [probably not], but it would have made planning easier. Ready for it? *cue dramatic music* Matthew will be gone-gone for five whole entire days. Like, not just working five 16-hour shifts in a row and coming home to sleep. No. Gone. GONE! And I'm all like, woe.
I've heard of wives who favor husband-less time. And I've heard of wives who are at least ambivalent about husband-less time. I am neither type of wife. Part of it is the complication that is two toddlers + a short fuse [mine, usually]... but it's also partly that I'm, like, addicted to him to begin with.
Either way.
So, two days before he leaves me FOREVER [it's practically that bad], I (a) find out this is happening in the first place and (b) realize in a panicky sort of way that I HAVE TO WORK THIS WEEK. Literally, this could not be worse timing. For example, we didn't/won't have Religious Ed last Sunday or tomorrow, but we're back on next week - and so I HAVE to prepare. And this Tuesday? Not only do I have Spiritual Direction scheduled at noon, but I'm subbing for my RCIC catechist in the evening. What.Will.I.Do?!
I told ya. Woe.
I'm already planning a mid-week trip out to P-burg so the kids and I can have dinner with my beloved... And I have one person who is willing to babysit during the day on Friday. So. If I could find someone for Monday, Tuesday, or both... we'd be rocky-rollin'.
Pray, friends. Please pray.
