Yesterday I dropped James off at the airport. He is going to be in China for the next few weeks doing an International Study for his MBA. Before he left he asked me to take lots of photos and do lots of blogging so he can keep up on our lives. The hard part is that while he is gone I usually go crazy on household projects, and then see if he even notices what I accomplished when he arrives home. He usually doesn't, so it is a fun game for me. I have even changed room colors and he never even noticed. Honest. This time I have a long list of projects as well, but I must confess I am in a rather melancholy mood and I can't get myself motivated. In case you are reading this James, it is probably b/c I miss you, but I just wouldn't want to admit it! :)
Yesterday afternoon as I went to go pick up James to take him to the airport, I was about 4 cars behind a small car vs. cement bridge accident. Sobering. I know I often take those I love for granted, and it only take an instant for our lives to be changed forever. So I was already in a sad mood to drop James off, and that only made it worse. Then Aidan and I planned to go to IKEA after we dropped off James so we could finally get him a "big boy bed." I just wanted to push Aidan in the cart and slip him little hugs and kisses as we meandered through the store, but he announced that he "really wanted to go play with the other kids, and could I please find his new bed by myself?"
After we were home again we planted some flowers and worked on a few things, and then we put the bed together. Now, his room is very little, and to fit his new bed in the room we have to take the crib out. This set me off into another sad state. And I just couldn't do it. I don't want to take that crib down, not knowing if I am ever going to be able to use it again. So Aidan gets to sleep with mommy tonight and in the meantime I consumed a lot of chocolate while I watched Grey's anatomy and Lost, which happened to be tearjerkers. (At least in my opinion.)

ohhh- what a sad day..I've had a few of those lately too. Kinda lonely sometimes, we have to basically say goodbye to Jared each summer as he starts up landscaping again.. but, that's life I guess, right? Would love to come down and visit you and do a few of your fun projects w/ you. I have wanted to make one of those terrariums! :) AND I have really been wanting to go to IKEA- we've been working on rearranging and looking for some bigger storage/furniture things for our school room. Just paint a big 24" barn star glossy red and hung it above Eddy's crib...I love it! It's on a light blue wall. Up in Baudette for the week..better run. ttyl
I cried during Lost too! So, your not alone in that opinion.
