We have an interesting month coming up mainly because the kids will be gone for nearly half of it. They leave for camp in about 2 weeks, are gone 5 days, come home and leave 5 days later on a 10-day mission trip. It will be interesting to hear all their stories and see pictures. It will be interesting to see how they grow while they are gone. It will be interesting to see the effect their absence has on my budget. It will be interesting to see what preparing for their absence will have on my budget! lol And it will be interesting to see how all 3 of us handle being apart for that long.
It's actually the last part that has me most concerned. It has been 5 years since the kids have been gone longer than 4 nights in a row, and that was to a camp here in Ohio at The Wilds. We all did okay then, so I'm praying we all do okay now. The twins are older and will be with a group of people they know pretty well, and I have faith and confidence in the youth pastor and young couple that are leading the mission trip. They will be fine, I'm sure. It's just that.....I just don't like being completely alone at night! This is the first time in 27 (oh my gosh!) years that there has not been a critter in the house to blame noises on. No cat, no hamster, not even a goldfish! I live in an old house in town, so there are going to be noises. It's just being realistic and mature at 2 AM that might be a problem! haha :-) Anyhow, I'm sure we will ALL be fine and happy to be back together. And IF I can get my act together and get back to posting more regularly, they might actually be recorded in the written form! :-D
The countdown is on....now, where to find cheap, petite junior bermuda shorts that will hold up for 7-8 days of concrete work? And how do we fit in a reunion, graduation parties, Father's Day, driving and more driving and a neighborhood yard sale into the 3-1/2 weeks (that soon???!!!) before they leave for the mission trip?
