the next two weeks

I'll be scarce around here and many of my other favorite online hang outs for the next couple of weeks. The Baron is leaving for deployment soon. It's been six years since our last separation and in that time the big kid has grown to an age where she'll realize her daddy is gone. The wee one will have a rough time with it because she is a big Daddy's girl. If he leaves her sight, she is constantly asking where he's gone.

The big kid has a special bond with her father. They generate more crazy creations and useless doo-dads than I can discretely throw away. It's a unique situation when a father with my husband's job doesn't leave his child for over 5 years. We were blessed.

I'll need some time for myself. Time to be sad. Time to adjust. Time to create a new routine. Once that's all happened, I'll be back. My first order of business is to finish those projects I posted about and get my PIF items sent to their new owner.

Take care.
