IT'S OVER?!
Seriously.....where does time go to, as it slips through my fingers? It seems to be in quite a rush to get somewhere; where? Can I follow it, and stuff some in my pockets to use it later?
It seems like yesterday I had a big smile on my face and 10 days alone with my mini me ahead. Gone. It's over. I am in denial. I just went through 425 emails, and about 200 of them are things that need to be actioned. So I did what any other distraught person would do--I have gone into the avoidance mode. I'm going to ignore it for another hour and pretend it will all just go away :)
This is why I hate going on vacation--I come back more stressed than before, because people don't stop sending me Sh*t to do just because I'm gone. It's so irritating.
On a more positive note, I had so much fun with Garett :( I am already really missing him today. And it's the first morning in 11 mornings that I haven't been there when he woke up. It gives me a knot in the pit of my stomach. I miss him. I want to be home with him. I am jealous of the babysitter, getting to spend her days with him. Totally not fair.
We didn't really get to do things we wanted/had planned, since the AC in my car decided to go on the fritz during the hottest week of the summer. Oh, and it was insanely hot most of the week, and could only go out for a few minutes at a time. We managed to visit my family a bit, and went shopping a bit, but for the most part, stayed close to home.
I think the heat was the universe telling me to slow down, to just enjoy the time alone with Garett, and not enforce an itinerary like I usually do. We just took the days as they came, played, lounged, snacked, watched movies, did crafts, took baths, played endless games of hide and seek, and chased imaginary creatures around the house (mice, dragons, crickets, witches, ghosts). And we laughed. And we bonded. And I looked at him play until my heart just couldn't handle it anymore, and I thought it would explode with love.
I am so lucky to have been able to be the one to spend that time with him. The selfish side of me wants more, more , more, but the realistic side knows I was just lucky to have those few days in the middle of summer to enjoy that I am his mommy, and still his favourite person.
So...back to my emails I go...
Hope everyone had a wonderful 10 days, and enjoyed your long weekend (if you got it off).
Happy Tuesday- Happy 4-day work week, Happy happy happy....let's try and be happy :)
