Sunday afternoon is for napping, so I’m including an old picture of Evan from last summer, snoozing away with Papa. Now that baby is “ba-ba”ing and “bee bee BEE”ing and trying to climb my chair legs…
But I digresss. Sunday afternoon is mainly for rest and relaxation and minor housework… it is not for what David just did. Which is put his suitcase in the car, kiss us all goodbye, and drive away…
He’s got a class in S.C. this week. And the anticipation of him leaving has been rougher than usual. We’ve decided that that is because he hasn’t spent the night away from us for work since mid- December…
Last year, he traveled a lot. Far too much. We hated it, but we got used to it. Now we’re not used to it anymore, so the parting is harder.
And I feel more vulnerable and frail than I used to when he went away. David is such a huge, important help around here. He is essential to the smooth daily functioning of this house. Apparently, that’s a mixed blessing.
I know I’m a whiny weenie. We’ll make it. I’ll be doing lots of praying for good attitudes and infrequent temper tantrums (for all of us). God is usually pretty gracious to answer those requests. And Nana is coming to help on Tuesday. We’ll be fine.
But we miss Daddy already…

Let me know if you have any tips! Dean is going away for a week for the first time this summer and I am NOT looking forward to it. My kiddos are likely to be whining and upset before he returns. Daddies are so important!
