Many of you know that Mark left last Friday to head back to the US. He was with my parents over the weekend getting over jetlag, repacking, buying a few essentials, etc. He flew to New Orleans yesterday where he's attending one conference the remainder of this week and another over the weekend. Meanwhile, I've been biding my time at home until I jetset on Saturday morning! It's nearly here and I can't believe it. At this point I still have a lot to do and keep reminding myself I only have 2 days a few hours to complete them all - BUT, I think it can be done!
Since Mark left on Friday I have noticed a few things....
--How does one less person in the house equate to 2/3rds less dishes? (I'm going to blame it on the coffee addiction Mark doesn't have.)
--A couple nights somewhere between about 8-9pm I've found I'm not quite sure what to do with myself. It seems like time for bed since the sun has set 4-5 hours ago, but even that's a little early for me to hit the sack. (I think that must be the time Mark and I usually watch a show together.)
--My toothbrush is lonely. Everytime I look at the glass cup that holds our toothbrushes it takes me by surprise. My toothbrush looks so alone sitting there by itself.
--Despite enjoying a clean house staying clean this week, it's a good reminder that I'd rather a dirty, messy house filled with my husband too.
I've missed you, Mark, and am counting the days till I see you again too!

Jealous you get to spend Thanksgiving with family in the US. Have a great trip!
Awe.....
It is amazing how not having hubby at home is very obvious. EVen in our house with extra paws that make WAY more mess than Brian, his absence is always felt.
I hope you get your to-do list tackled and that you get a little extra rest.... maybe you'll get over jetlag a little more quickly;)
You'll have to let us know when you'll be a little closer to us and we can try to meet somewhere:)
