Well, we're not yet halfway done with Matt's business trip. Last night, Tinkerbell was having a really hard time calming down and being happy - and as soon as I put her on Daddy's side of the bed with Daddy's blanket, she went to sleep soundly for the rest of the night. Peter Pan woke up a few times last night, asking for his Daddy. When he finally woke up this morning (almost an hour and a half late!) He cried and cried for his dad.
These kids really love him.
I miss him at least as much as they do - I just don't let myself cry about it. The kiddoes need me to be happy and encouraging. This is just the farthest apart we've ever been (the conference he's at is in Atlanta, Georgia), and apart from the week I went on choir tour, this is the only other time we've been apart. But I figure it's only a couple more days, and yeah, it's inconvenient, but it's going to help him out at work. He's already learned a bunch about the software system they use at the dental lab - things they could use. So at least he's not there for no reason.
The weather here has been all kinds of bleh - yesterday was nice, but so smoggy it wasn't worth trying to go outside. Today it's a thunderstorm kind of day - everyone in the house has sore throats, and the kids have runny noses from the constant change from hot and dry to cool and wet. I wish the weather would just decide, already. But what we really need is some wind to blow away this weather inversion. That's what it would take to get rid of the oppressive smog hanging over the valley.
PS: Skype is cool!
