Only 6 weeks and 2 days til I get to see my mom and dad, and my brother, too!!!!!! Need I say more than that? I'm not a big "I have to have my family person," but boy this stretch was a long one. So many times I've been tempted to just call my mom and ask her to please come see me. I knew she couldn't and I didn't want to worry her, so I just learned to cope.
They are staying for a whole week, which will seem long at the time as we adjust to all living under one roof, but then the day will come to say goodbye, and it will be sad all over again. Sometimes, I think it would be better if they didn't come so I wouldn't have to say goodbye.
The kids are excited for their visit and we are going to make a countdown calendar in anticipation of their visit. We can't wait! We are not even going to do anything, just be together. We are planning a trip to Six Flags to go to Holiday in the Park, but other than that it's going to be a perfectly low key week (with the exception of Christmas, of course).
Until then, thank God for texting and e-mail, and for the power of the human voice. I've said it before, but it deserves to be said again, never underestimate the power of the human voice. All the texting and emailing in the world cannot even begin to make up for just 10 minutes talking on the phone.
