Okay, this photo doesn't really fit in any of my photo challenges. So, I'll call it my exception. But I love it. Working up in Prescott this week has been a nice change of pace. All three boys are home, doing wonderfully as expected. But, I am never the one away. I am always home and Tom is away. It is a strange feeling to be removed from my element. Of course, it is more relaxing and I am getting a decent night's sleep with a normal wake up time. (not 5:30am, thanks to our early bird Connor) But I think all day long- oh, it's 10:30am and Ian's at swim. Or it's 1pm and I wonder if the kids are taking a nap. Or it's 7pm and I figure the kids are getting ready for bed (I know better than to call!). Or it's 10pm and I think Tom is playing his video game uninterrupted with no one bugging him (me!). Or I wonder how late he stayed up and if the baby woke him early. My mind drifts to them a million times an hour, it seems. My life is wrapped up in what they do, no matter how apart I am from them.
Good thing they are coming to visit me tomorrow. I don't think I can wait until Sunday. No exceptions.

I think it's always hard for a mom to go away for a few days. Your mind is always drifting back home and what is going on there and it makes it hard to focus on what you are suppose to be doing and relax.
It is hard to go away with little ones but it's so nice to come home after a break!
