are we there yet?

With Judd's schedule the way it is, I lead a double life. In one life I have two weeks of vacation time with my husband. We enjoy time with our family and friends, or we run off to the zoo or the park with our own growing family. We have no obligations to an office or a schedule so we don't feel the looming weight of an impending Monday. By the time his two weeks come to an end, we are truly amazed by how much we have done and how satisfied we are by the time we had together. Then two weeks of Juddlessness. There are times I feel overwhelmed by being alone with two children, but I get into a rhythm of my own. I stay up way too late watching a movie, playing on the internet, knitting, writing to you all. I get to hang out with my mom, I get visits from Den and Louise, I see my friends, we go on playdates... And by the time Judd steps off the plane I am really ready to see him. Right now I am really ready to see him. Really.
