Jeff and Morgan have been gone for about 24 hours. They left yesterday and drove to Michigan. They are visiting our families for the week. Weather permitting, they will come home on Thursday. I cannot take time off work currently, so I am still in Indianapolis.
I miss them more than I could have ever imagined. I actually haven't seen Morgan for almost 48 hours because she spent the night at Patty's house Sunday so we could go to a Superbowl party. This is by far the longest I have ever been away from her. I have basically spent every moment since they left trying not to realize they are gone. I cry every time I let the feelings come to the surface.
I know Morgan and Jeff are having a great time visiting with everyone, so I am doing my best to also enjoy myself while they are gone. Yesterday after work, instead of going home, I went out for dinner and then went shopping. It was nice not to feel rushed as I browsed several stores. When I did return home, I only had Joey and myself to tend to, which meant I had more than enough time to get everything done that needed to be done. It felt very foreign - but it was nice.
Tonight I plan to crank up some music and clean the house. I figure if the house is clean when they return, then we will all be able to spend time together having fun this weekend instead of cleaning.
Tomorrow night, I plan to do some reading and watch a little TV. And I'll probably take a few minutes to pray for good weather on Thursday, too.

ah... what a good Mommy you are. Try to enjoy a little "me time" - she'll be all yours when she returns! :)
I can't imagine that much time to myself! I think I would be sad too (although having a clean house for more than 2 hours sounds heavenly...). I'll pray for good weather too! - Kim (who is accidentally signed in as Lucas...)
Oh Lauren....I know the feeling. I hated to be away from my kids for longer than a shopping trip out for the day. Focus on getting some time to yourself,days go by so fast and they will return. My whole life was people gone and I can say I'm so used to it now. I will pray also for good roads for baby and Jeff. And a job soon. Feel real bad about that luck. God has a plan hold on and it will all work out. Luv A. Denise

Hopefully pictures will be coming soon. For now, our computer at home has been on the fritz. We're working through its issues ...
