Journal for Doug

This morning Doug flew to New York. I think he is coming home for Thanksgiving, but for all intents and purposes, he is on the next feature
From now until christmas. And then a few days after as well. The last feature ended and the re-entry was difficult. more difficult than either of us anticipated. anyway, as of this morning i am flying solo.

I really want to keep a journal of what happens when Doug is gone. i will try to do it everyday. He misses out on so much already, maybe this will fill in some gaps.

i was a little mopey today -- i usually am the first day he travels.

Penny played in the playroom for much of simons nap so i could rest, text jessica and just zone out. Then she pooped in her underwear. (the underwear we bought at target today. hello kitty kat and rainbow...her picks. but now we have tons of underwear all over the house.) so she called me and we ran to the bathroom where a big steamy mushy poop fell out of her underwear and on to the bathroom floor. awesome. luckily i had just bought some flushable wipes so the clean up wasnt too bad.

Owen complained about doing anything that wasnt TV, Video games or playdates. Really feeling the need to start the ticket system.

trying not to employ retail therapy while he is gone. putting my focus on exercise instead. not as much fun as laying in a bed following link after awesome link of stuff to buy. that is one of my favorite things. alas, we really REALLY don't have any money so i've got to resist. not sure how to pull off thanksgiving for 25 people without spending, but whatever.
