Sigh...
So, M just left for Goderich...He has to be at work tomorrow morning at 8am in Kincardine. It's been one hell of a day and i'm beginning to think that the rest of the week isn't going to be much better. We started the day just fine, then around 11 all hell broke loose when he called in to check on the status of his security clearances. They were finalized friday apparently and made it to the right person's desk just this morning. No biggie, we were told that the Bruce was looking for electricians and that they'd let us know on a start date for him. We were thrilled, M back to work is something that we've both wanted for quite some time so the rejoicing began. We figured they'd probably want him for next week so we had some time to get used to the idea of him being away all week while i was here. About 15 minutes later we got the call....and all hell broke loose here... they want him for 8am tomorrow morning. Needless to say it was a bit of a shock and kinda kicked me in the gut. We haven't been apart for more than one night...and i mean one night total.. in the 2 1/2 years that we've been living together. When he worked nights he was at least home during the day and i could go down and snuggle in while he slept for an afternoon nap or something...but now he'll be gone for 4 whole nights and i'm not sure exactly what i'm going to do with myself while he's gone. As of now they're saying the contract is 8-12 weeks, but we won't know for sure what's happening until he gets up there. It may go long term at which point we'll look at going up there full-time, but for now it's a holding pattern. Him there, me and the kids here....it's going to be a long few months....
I tried to be good when he left, tried to hold it together and not lose it until after he'd gone...i think i did ok. Seems silly, to be bawling my eyes out on the front step over something so silly as not having him home during the week...but it's tough..it's all been really sudden and i haven't had time to adjust yet. I'll be ok, it's just going to take some getting used to i think!
