No no pictures today... Last night was a long, long, night. Nik and I don't sleep well when it's close to a full moon, much less when it's a full moon the night Daddy leaves for a year. I tossed and turned all night, and somewhere around 2 AM, Nik joined me. All night long, whenever I thought about getting up and going to work, I dreaded it, knowing how tired I would be.
But when I got up, Nik wanted to go to school. So, I took him to school. When I got there, a co-worker had called in, and they needed me. That was all it took. I forgot about how tired I was, forgot about the full moon, and decided that, if I got busy enough, I'd forget that my husband wouldn't be home that night.
And, it worked. Between the full-moon's effects on a class of three-year-olds and a lice epidemic, I forgot. I forgot up until he called and told me that they'd made it half way there. And then I forgot again until we came in the front door and Nik ran in and stopped, realizing something was missing, and said, "But, Daddy's not home."
