Will left this morning - i cried. I actually cried in the middle of the night last night too when Eli woke up for the third time. Oh well - you do what you have to do right? I'm hoping tonight won't be too bad... I'm really trying to get him on a consistent sleeping and bedtime schedule and I'm praying that that helps him sleep through the night - since eating cereal so far hasn't.
I'm almost as sad about not going to Africa as I am about Will being away! I so wish I could have gone. I don't know how to explain it - but I guess it's like Africa is my soul's home - it just feels normal to be there and I love the people so much. American Idol is on in the background right now and they recapped their show last week of the fund raiser. There were all these people in Africa and all these kids and families - it breaks my heart to really think about not being able to go! At least it's a season - I know I will go again, and that makes it bearable. Not to mention that I am SO SO SO glad to have Eli - he makes everything worth it. (I just hate the 5:30 - 7 pm whining hours!)
I think I've done pretty good today though. I got out of the house and to my meeting on time, had a conference call (thankfully he slept through), got gas for the car, walked to the laundry mat to get quarters (to do laundry in the morning), straightened up the living room, did the dishes, gave Eli a bath, played with him, and put about 125 photos into an album. I'm pretty proud of myself! Hopefully all days are this productive as I have about a mile long list of things I'd like to do before Will gets back!
I better go - it's only 9:30 and I'm fading fast. I've decided that I don't care if I'm in bed early every day, I'm going to be a lot more tired in the next few weeks and I'll take all the sleep I can get!
Good night!

I am convinced that the consistent schedule is what keeps kids sleeping through the night. The cereal will help to keep his belly full too! :) I'm sure he's adjusting too after being away to visit up here...it's messed up what he's "used" to...
It will be a tough go while Will is gone. I can't imagine! I'm sure it's hard on him too not being with you and Eli.
It's funny as a Mom...there are things you miss and don't get to do but then at the same time you wouldn't trade your child/(children in my case) for anything in the world!
:) Take care and try to stay busy so the time passes quickly until he gets home!
Just wondering how the rest of your week has gone? Hope you're fabulous!
I think you are amazing...and I want to bring you dinner sometime while Will is away...something he def. wouldn't like---
:-)
