Day 26: Hint Hint

This is the last night of a string of 10 before my husband gets back. And next week we have him entirely for a 4 day long weekend. I'm really really excited.

I looked at the word excited...the thought of jumping up and down, with so much energy and an exclamation mark,came to mind. I am so not that.

My shins ache from squating in teeny tiny patches of empty garden, my back aches. I've just got my kids to bed after lots of crying and complaining, and lots of stalling by my 4 year old. My little guy is teething and wants to suck. The last 2 nights have been long and sleepless.

So the part that I'm excited about, other than being in the fleshly presence of my beloved, is having him physically here. I'm excited to get to sleep in one morning. Knowing it's the day but staying in bed, under my super cozy duvet, in a room with the blinds down and the door closed. (Hint Hint for you!) And getting my hair cut on Friday, then dress shopping by myself. (FYI: I booked an apointment for 9a.m.) I'm excited for him to do bedtime with my daughter, and read 4 stories cause she's 4, then make one up because that's what they do. But the key point here is that I get to sit in front of the tv watching some stupid reality show, drinking tea, ignoring the world. And then Friday night, after having set up the DVD player and put the kids to bed, we'll watch "Master and Commander" with Russel Crowe, sent by my dad to celebrate my captain's captainship. And we'll cuddle.

The end of a long week, the beginning of another. 4 days to meet in the middle and reboot.
