2 more days...
2 more days and Jared goes back on the road...That's 2 more days of waking up with him next to me. 2 more days of having the kids ring the Princess Diana dinner bell to have him come to the table. 2 more days of having him taste my cooking concoctions. 2 more days of watching the back of his head bob up and down while he's playing his PSP. 2 more days of eating cheetos and watching movies in bed with the kids. 2 more days of holding hands and going for walks. 2 more days of playing Rockband in the middle of the day. 2 more days of texting him to see a movie spontaniously. 2 more days of late night taco bell runs. 2 more days of watching him laugh and play with the kids. 2 more days of standing in the middle of the pool hugging while the kids tease us and wait for adult swim to be over. 2 more days of eye rolling over the kids head when they ask again when we are doing such and such activity and we just finished telling them. 2 more days of late night dates with friends. 2 more days of QT runs for coke and dr. pepper. 2 more days of Jared coming to find me so we can snuggle in the kitchen. 2 more days of ask your father he's home. 2 more days of talking of Paris and London. 2 more days of waking up with all the kids and pets sleeping on top of us and rolling over and touching eachothers hand and giving eachother a sleepy smile. 2 more days of him grabbing the kids and telling them he loves them. 2 more days until I have to drive him to the airport and kiss him goodbye!

We have been incredibly blessed these last 12 months. I've had such a limited work / travel schedule. I knew it wouldn't last forever. But it has been a lot of fun to be at home so much. I'm going to miss falling asleep with Sephie. Doggin' on the kids. Kiddin' with the dog. And just generally being more engaged than I typically could be with the family. I'll sure have to readjust to having those things in shorter supply. Somehow we always manage to survive and grow from these transitions.
ReplyDeleteYa we do. The first week will be the hardest and then we will fall back into our old routine. But missing you will always be on my mind.
ReplyDeleteWow! Every time Todd is gone it makes me appreciate him so much. Distance makes the heart grow fonder! You guys are awesome! We had so much fun with you and Michell and Steve the other night. We need to do it again! Sounds like that might take a while to plan with Jared's schedule, but we can do it! Love you both!
ReplyDeleteSweet post! Okay Sephie...more details. I thought he always goes for a week or so and then back on the weekend. Has he not had to do that for awhile?
