One last time,
Off we go again, this time shall be the last time I leave the family behind and go on the road to work. This week is the last one I believe to be living in hotel rooms and eating out. I feel at peace about not going along with the rest of our team for the next two months. My place is at home and that's why I don't feel as bad about leaving the team anymore. This decision has been a very hard one and I'd like to thank everyone that has supported me through this. I still have a few emails to reply but once again they will have to wait until next weekend.
Yesterday, we did not go to the ice show after all. Instead we went out the whole family for supper. The kids loved it and it all gave us time to relax and just enjoy each other. The kids know this is the last time I leave home, they are very pleased about it. They know daddy will still leave for a few weeks but then should be coming home for good too. This has been a tougher tou than we expected but we now know that our place is home with the kids. Even Carl's been missing them more this year than last year. I've been teary eyed each time we leave the house. This is not worth it, I want to be there when Zoe graduates from kindergarden, I want to start the garden with the kids, I want to be home when garage sales start again. This is my place to be at! :)
While walking yesterday we saw a red cardinal, it sang beautifully and I had to show Lucas. He ran home to tell my mom and Zoe that he saw a red cardinal he couldn't have been any prouder, these are moments that I need to be home for once again.
Knitted quite a bit on the baby sweater, today we have 6 hours of travel to be in the city we are going too. I predict some sleeping, music listening and knitting.
hugs, have a great week.
