Yesterday/Last Night Stunk
Well we dropped J at the airport yesterday morning. He called during his Houston lay-over and then once he got settled into a hotel in Louisiana. He did mention something about never wanting to use Houston Hobby again. Yet I didn't ask if it was worse than Dulles airport (I know that one is rough too). He is settled back in, luckily in the hotel he likes, and starts back to work today. I think his going back was filled with mixed emotions. He missed me and the kids, but really the noise of this household gets old after awhile. BUT, he did say that the quiet of a hotel room gets old after awhile. Anyway, he's back for now but we get to see him earlier than we normally would if everything goes through with this house he'll be back January 31 for closing. YEA!!!
I will have to admit that I didn't like putting him back on a plane, but it was a lot smoother this time and whether it be good or bad, a lot less emotional. I think it helped that we just departure drop instead of walking him to security. I didn't have a chance to hug him multiple times or say how I was going to miss him. So, there were no tears. Plus, I've discovered that I can survive and anticipate his return. Hopefully this next visit won't be filled with a stomach bug that involves multiple barfings. Almost everyone single one of us threw up during his time home.
Last night SUCKED!!! Aiden woke up at about 1am, crying for his Dad. Then when he discovered he wasn't in bed with me, he screamed. Then when he discovered his Dad wasn't on the couch, he screamed. It was a very emotional night. Aiden also woke up at 3am and Nick at 4am. Such fun being a single parent it is!
