Very fast.

Guess who's a single parent until Monday?

Me!

How is it happening? Jim's been tapped to be on the collective bargaining committee (probably as an alternate) for the union at work - and needs to be schooled/trained, so he's in San Jose in digs we both know very well from Fanime. Um, he had lunch in the karaoke room today.

He's already there, having flown up this morning - and I insisted he take Xander to school and give a proper goodbye to reassure him he would be back, when and so forth.

To be blunt, I haven't gotten so many text messages in six months and we text a LOT over the course of a day about day-to-day what are we gonna do stuffs. We...haven't been separated much in ten years - I think this will be the longest we've been apart in a decade, easy.

He is absolutely giddy. And having a grand old time.

Kid and I? Gonna miss him like whoa. And not looking forward to bereft little boy who is having an acute Lack of Dadda.

Keep me in your thoughts - because in five minutes, my race home to get him from school, homework, feed and put to bed in one piece?

Begins.

Three days he's on travel. One at work after that.

Here we go.

Poor Xander. Jake is deeply attached to Jim, so we do all the fun things we can think of while Jim is gone. We eat sandwiches on the floor. Sometimes under a tent. We make Mac 'n Cheese with the milk instead of without. Just little things we can only do when Dad is gone. Good luck!

Yipes. Danny is on a business trip as well this week, though Alex and I tend to see these as adventures where we do extra fun things and live life totally differently. But I can only imagine what it's liek for Xander, with his history. Ick.
