When you are in school a 4 day weekend is long and relaxing. You have no school, no homework, sometimes no job to go to, and all that is required is that u pick up after yourself and try not to drive your mother crazy in those extra days. Then you grow up and discover that they are not as fun now as they were then.
You spend all day before it starts anticipating it, the first day is awesome! The second day is good because you realize It's half gone, but that still means the other half is in front of you. The third is ok but you feel a little dread knowing that the fun will only last until tomorrow. Then we get to the last day, no joy to be found and it feels like work to even try to get out of your funk....that's where I am today.
My husband drove down to where the training is, but the minute we crossed the state line I could feel my mood change and so did my husband.
Our son screamed from the time he got out of the car until we were 10 minutes from home. I can't wait til this TDY IS OVER!

Celebration
My husband is home for the long weekend. This is the first time he's been home since he went to training in May, but not the first time he's gotten to see us. It's amazing how different it feels to have him home versus going to visit him where his training is.
It felt like it should have been Christmas the next day, the night before we went to pick him up. It was as if I hadn't seen him in months when it had only been a couple weeks. He was even more relaxed and goofy than I had seen him be since before he left.
10th month old boys have this amazing memory when it comes to their daddy I found out as well. He acted so starved for his.daddy's attention, you would think that mommy never paid any attention to him. His whole face lit up and before daddy even said anything to him he was giggling and moving, trying to get at him, even though all attemps were useless while in the carseat. He went down for a nap with the least amount of fussing I've heard in some time, and sleeps much more soundly. I guess even he feels better and safer when daddy is home.
Our new baby, that I'm 15 weeks pregnant with also wanted to do a little attention getting of his/her own with daddy and kicked me over and over again this morning. This is the first time during this pregnancy that I have felt the baby do that. I love our little show-offs!
