He's Leaving on a Jet Plane

I put Chris on a plane to Europe this afternoon for his sabbatical. He plans to spend time in Germany, Austria, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, France and Belgium. He will be back in three weeks.

I knew I would miss him, but I have been repressing the thought of how much. Why borrow trouble, right? It's easier for me, because I knew him when he was just Chris, not a husband and father, so I understand his need. I have the same need. The need to just be me for a little while. Lina and Huck will understand it someday, but for now, they are just pissed and sad that their daddy is leaving them to gallivant across another continent.

Safety energies would be much appreciated.

Oh my! I can't imagine sending my GamerDude away for 3 weeks. I think the longest trip he ever took was 5 days and that was enough for us.

May he come home safe.
May he have an awesome time.
May you stay sane! LOL

I hope he has fun. I hope you guys don't go crazy until he gets back.

Also, Happy Belated Birthday!

And when you are PMSing, take some B6. It helps with the crazies, I swear.

I'll keep him (and you all!) in my thoughts and prayers...

Done and done. Love you. Call me when you're bored/lonely. You can talk. I'll listen. I'm protecting the vwoks today.

Ummmmm, exactly whose b-day was it? Sounds like the time my Daddy bought my Moma a dump truck on her b-day.... Just kidding (but he really did)! Hope he has a great time, and hope the time goes by fast for you and your babes at home...
