It feels like YEARS since I have seen Lee. It was wonderful to have him in April for the two weeks that he was able to visit for R and R but it sure makes this second 6 months feel endless. Lee is busy and less "freaked out" about home not being here when he gets back. That is good, but it also means that I hear from him less and he seems to have less to say. This makes me sad.
Then, I wonder, to all the people who are big advocates and supporters of what Lee is doing in Iraq (because I am grateful for the support) -- I wonder if they could even IMAGINE what it must be like for small children, like ours, to be completely without a father for an entire YEAR? I wonder what it would be like for them if you took their rock...their primary comfort and took it away for a year? ---Our kids are okay...doing well...but they are different without their Dad. They are different kids now.
Hazel is sick...fever and very tired for three days now. She is scheduled to leave for Wash. DC on Sunday so I need to take her to the doctor tomorrow to make sure it is just a virus and nothing more.
Liam refuses organized activities and threw a mini tantrum when he had to go with us to one of Hazel's friend's ballet recitals this weekend. That was a strange and crazy burst of anger in my boy. However, he is content, building a MASSIVE Lego operation in the bedroom and wearing is boxers and a t-shirt for about 18 hours a day. He is looking forward to his trip to Lego land, CA with his Nana in a couple weeks.
Me, well, I bought a Harmonica and am trying to learn some basics. I am impatient. Running is going ..okay...but I am not hitting every scheduled run. The heat is unbearable and I am running alone. The early am runs are nearly impossible because I worry about leaving the kids home alone. So, I don't.
Headed to NC to work the Summer Camp in about 10 days. I am still looking for arrangements for the two dogs, two fish and cat. Sigh....
