My husband travels a lot with his job and this current trip seems like an eternity even though it is only 12 days. Rather than focusing on the negative about not having him home, I will focus on the positive of him being gone...my laundry day on Monday consisted of only 2 loads versus 3 or 4; I can fix a bowl of cereal for dinner and prep time, eat time and clean up time is about 15 minutes; I can go to bed at nine PM and not get laughed at by the night owl in the family who stays up pretty late working...I think this is it. Not very many positives. I am getting tired of this traveling business and want him home.
On a fun note, Miyako and I have done some cool things this week while he has been gone. She loves the swings and there are two neighborhood parks within a 15 minute walk from our house. We have made a walk to the park a daily adventure for us. It gets us some fresh air and gives me a time during the day when I am not chasing her around the house. We also went to a Japanese festival on Saturday. It was very cool. They had traditional Japanese dancers, a Japanese Idol contest, and traditional games that kids play in Japan. I bought her three books, one of which is bilingual, to add more books to her Japanese shelf. When my husband gets home with the gadgets for uploading pictures, I will post some.
My friend told me I need to post more about our day to day life and even the frustrations of our being separated from our papa a lot, but I do not want to do that too often and dwell on the negative. We do have a job and God has provided it for us for this time in our lives. Hopefully it will not be forever, but even if it is, it is God's sovereign plan for us and that is what I can truly rest in when I get frustrated, lonely or sad.
