I always have a hard time when Josh leaves. Although very tired the night before he left, I tossed most of the night. I used to get totally tied up in knots for several days before he'd leave, even a week when we were first married, but now I've learned to keep it to a mild stress shortly before he goes, and almost none if it's a short trip now.
Anyway, I've been trying to gear up for him being gone and have lots of plans to keep ourselves busy. I figured my GPS watch was a pretty sweet gift even if it wasn't motherly or romantic, so I didn't expect anything else, I was thrilled with the watch. Yesterday, the day he left, I started loading my kids up in the van to go to the park when the UPS guy pulled up with this box and I squealed and I think I made the delivery dude happy too.
Brought kids back in, opened it up and not just flowers, but chocolate and bath salts/gels too! And probably most important, a very good love note. Ahh, I love this man.
He was smart to have it delivered the day he left and hoped they'd be blooming by Mother's Day, and he intentionally picked one with lilies, which are sentimental for us. I couldn't believe he thought of this so long ago despite being overloaded with work! Again, I love this man!

I'd love to hear what kinds of activities you have planned with the girls--Neil is leaving for a week-long conference in a couple of weeks and I'm dreading it. I'm debating whether I should go take the kids to see my parents, or whether it will be easier to have them at home with our normal routines and in our own beds (which makes a big difference with all 3 of them...)
