Goodbyes in Utah

Mr. Man was able to have Wednesday off during our vacation, so he took off today, in the morning. As part of his things to pack, I made sure that my hubs had enough to eat while he was at work. On our way, I sat next to him in the front seat of the truck and the whole time, I couldn't stop thinking about how weird it is for me to say goodbye to him just a few feet away from where he needs to go into to catch a plane.

I wanted to cry... I was glad that I-Dude cried quietly on the way back because I didn't want to cry in front of my FIL. He'll understand of course, but it was just so surreal that it hurt. I remember being the last one to get in the truck. J-Pony was entertained by her cousin, T, and my SIL, K, so I knew she was fine.

Then the kiddos stayed at my SIL's for the night and I find myself alone in the room we were staying at, quiet and peaceful. I knew the kids were having fun and M&D- ILs were enjoying their evening. Mom got me a book,

and it's such a good read! Of course, I didn't get to finish it though I wanted to. I was able to take a shower in peace and enjoy a bag of Hawaiian "Luau BBQ" Potato Chips, compliments of M&D.

I loved my day alone; but I also felt alone... Like I was missing something. Four somethings, precious somethings... I couldn't wait to fall asleep (yes, I had a hard time though it was quiet) so that Friday could come soon.
