Spouseless in Seattle

Well, boo. Hubby left before sunrise for a 4-day conference in Denver. Together with his brother he will be signing sample copies of their book coming out this September. They will also be meeting with publishers regarding a new book series. In the meantime, I'll be having my first go at parenting three kids alone for four days. We're filling our schedule to the brim with grandparent visits, playdates, and whatnot in order to make time fly by that much faster...and keep boredom to a minimum.
Having Hubby gone means less laundry and more of the bed. It also means that I don't have to cook, per se, because my boys would happily subsist on peanut butter and jelly for all eternity and I'm content with a sandwich or salad. See how I'm looking for the positives here?? So, yeah. Talk to me in a couple days and see how positive I'm feeling!

Now where'd I put those Kleenex??

Oh I hear ya! I am praying that it goes well for the guys, but it is tough to be home for that long too. It is almost impossible to cook for myself and the kids :)

Oh my - you will have your hands full! Hang in there this week! If Jody & I lived closer we would totally come over and have a girl night with ice cream and girly movies. :)

i HATE when Pat is out of town so I feel for you-but it is nice on the cooking front, which is funny, b/c they are only one person but all the sudden it is like "dad's gone, bust out the cereal for dinner kids!" i don't know why that is. I am excited though about their new book possibility-I am praying for it to be a great big thing-God is good at great big things b/c He is a GREAT BIG GOD!!! hang in there, halfway done!!

I know that we are strangers, but we are sisters in Christ! I ran across your blog via Adoption Ministries website. I'm friends with and work with Lianne W. at KJH. I was supposed to go to Ethiopia this summer, but it just wasn't the right timing. Anyway, as I read your blog the Lord laid your family on my heart. I don't believe there are any "coincidents" with God! So, I'd like to leave you something to pick up at the Adoption Ministries home in Puyallup. Please let me know if you'd be to go there. If not please email me at KendallLooney2@hotmail.com. God Bless!
