Europe and Projects

My boy left for Denmark a few days ago. He went with his dad to the happiest country on earth. Yes, I already miss him and I want him back but I know that this is a wonderful opportunity. He will be spending nearly three weeks in Europe. Visiting castles, eating lots of seafood and spending time on the edge of the Baltic Ocean. Denmark is nine hours ahead of us and we have yet to communicate since he left.

I think there should be stages you go through not having your son (child) around for three weeks.I would categorize all 6 of them this way: 1.Reluctance, needing to let go and let him experience. 2.A little elated, look at all this time to myself! 3.Ok, I am missing the hugs he leans down to give me. 4.I really need a few good cries, he has not made contact with me. 5.Seriously 2 and 1/2 more weeks? 6.I need some projects, work is not enough. Okay, I have two projects I will start.Aden's school has a Winter Faire with a Children's Store and I have a bag full of beautiful wool. Need I say more?

Project #2 Planting flower bulbs in our raised garden. Not too big of a deal but maybe it would motivate me to make my backyard prettier then it is.

I guess I could go as far as to deep clean the house. Nah, I have much more important things to do, right now I cannot think of them but I have no doubt they will come to me. Meanwhile, I will make my bed. Good night.
