Only Six More Days...

Well, maybe six; could be as little as five, and as many as seven or eight.... days until Joe comes home for R&R!!! I am getting very excited. Hannah asked me a few days ago when her Dad was coming home, and when I told her it would be next week, she was very excited as well!! We are all looking forward to some much-needed family time!

Hannah has been pestering me about letting her skip school so she can go to the airport with me to pick up Joe. I explained that I may not get much of an advance notice before he arrives, so he may come in the morning, afternoon, or evening. She went on to explain that in her mind, she has this vision of her rushing into her daddy's arms as soon as they see each other in the airport, and she really wants it to play out in real life. It's very sweet, but I have the same vision!

Now to accomplish all the to-do's on my list; I seem to add more than I cross off. My type-A personality really starts to kick in at times like these. I have a picture in my head of how I want things to be, but all I really end up doing is putting a lot of pressure on myself. Then when I don't get it all accomplished, I feel like I failed. It really is ridiculous -- I am my own worst enemy at times. Lord, help me to focus on that which is really important!

How exciting!! It's really not the same when your husband comes home from a business trip. I mean, he might be making my cell phone work better, but he's really not out there protecting my freedom :)
Don't be so hard on yourself. Only do the "have to's" and everything else will be icing on the cake!!!
