It is just a phase, an adjustment period. Eventually, we will get into the groove of things. I honestly didn’t think much about him leaving. Don’t get me wrong, I was scared and nervous but we have been through this before. This isn’t the first time and we have done this long before. He comes and goes so frequently I just thought it would take a while for it to hit us all. I was NOT prepared for the immediate reaction. Not even an hour after his departure our oldest is arguing with me on how many times she had to write her spelling words. The number hasn’t changed all year. That night though, the simple request of writing out her spelling words took an hour and lots of tears. I wanted to cry with her but I had to be strong for them. The last couple days have been rocky. I feel like I have spent every hour in the bathroom. There is a pit in my stomach. Tears have been shed over nothing. One kid won’t eat. I am emotionally and physically drained for no real reason.
Tomorrow is a new day and we will find our new “normal”. It is just a phase, an adjustment period.
