Beloved goes on business trips. It's just a part of the job at this point (I still think it's pretty cool that the company taps him for representation though). I am beginning to settle into it and Boy is even seeming to understand that Papa goes on an airplane and will be gone for a little while. We look at a lot of photos of Papa and are starting to count days...although I don't think Boy really understands what a "day" is yet.
The irritation comes in with my efforts to DO things for Beloved while he is gone. This time, it's finishing the bathroom. Other projects included things like the library, major car maintenance, etc. I love knowing that I can offer such services and make homecoming all the better for him!
At the same time...*sigh* I'm too ambitious. That's the basic issue. I DID finish the bathroom and took care of several little tasks Beloved ask for. I also got some help and have the carpentry work DONE on the front porch. I did NOT organize the tools, get the broken windows taken care of, return some tools to a friend, or get books up in the library.
Beloved is due home in 24 hours, and I'm wondering how I can squeeze MORE into the last day I have and get the house clean....
*wry smile* anyone have a sledge hammer handy? I think this girl needs some sense knocked into her!
I can lend you mine, as long as I can have it back when your done, cos I use it all the time. hehe.
