More changes

You know I like to keep life exciting! So why not throw some more changes into our already complicated life, right?

Here's the deal. After some conversation, hubby and I decided that he would stay in Indiana through July in order to be able to run his theatre camps. Many of his students have been asking about them, and we thought it would be easy money to help pay for his move out here.

Well, then the rational (not emotional) part of me thought, "Hey, Maya should stay in Indiana for the summer too!" If she stays here with me, she'll be stuck in daycare all summer while I work. Our summer will get very busy at work, so it makes sense to give me time to focus on all of that. Plus, she misses her dad so much, and this gives her a chance to have Dad by himself without me for six weeks.

The emotional part of me??? Well, while I know it all makes perfect sense, I'm going to be without my child for six weeks!?! I have to remind myself that hubby has had to do this since we moved out here. But for a mom to be away from her daughter for that long? Let's just say I hope I stay really busy, so I don't think about what she's doing every minute of the day! Granted, I'll get much-anticipated free time and will actually get to have a bit of a social life. But I know it will be so hard. That's what I get for offering up the idea, huh?

Hubby will be here in a few weeks, but just staying seven days. Maya is so excited. I keep reminding her we are 2/3 of the way done and in the home stretch. But it seems the closer we get to summer, the more she misses her dad. I don't blame her. I miss him too.

So, Maya and I will fly home in June, and I'll fly back to Colorado, alone, after about 10-12 days. Oh, and did I mention by the time Joel gets out here we'll need to start looking for a bigger place to live???
