Daddy's Gone

So, Parker is on his big trip at the moment. He's flying to Argentina RIGHT NOW, but has spent the past week in Kuwait.

Branch, Ginny and I have been on our own for almost a week. It's not been bad at all, but I've just had to plan ahead and let certain things go... like vacuuming.

Ginny has started squealing- SQUEALING! She's grinning, squealing, with blue eyes sparkling... for looooong periods of time. It's so wonderful to listen to.

This week has been hard, because I'm so busy getting ready for what's about to happen or to help get ready for the next morning- I can't just HANG OUT with G or B. I miss them. I feel like Branch is tired of playing all alone, and Ginny just wants me to hold her and I'm too busy picking up or washing bottles to do it. At least I'm staying ahead of the housework, some, but I'll be glad when the house gets vacuumed next week. A good ol' machine is coming over and I think it will make SUCH A DIFFERENCE!

School starts tomorrow morning, and things only will get crazier from there.
