it is gonna be a great day...

yep, it sure is. it is 6:25am. the baby woke up at 4:30am, and he sleeps in our room, so there was no putting him back and going back to sleep. he is still awake. and to make matters worse, he woke up his sister at 5:30am. so, here i sit, so tired i can barely type, with two very hyper awake children. and this is a disaster for the rest of day. my kids do not handle lack of sleep well. heck, i am not handling it very well lately either...

and kevin is in cairo, egypt on business. i am trying so hard not to cry about it. not because i miss him, which i do, but because egypt is the one place in the world i have always wanted to go, and i couldn't go. basically, because it is a muslim country, women really aren't safe going out without a male relative/escort. he is only getting one sightseeing day and then is working the rest of the time. and so it wasn't worth the money for the trip if all i would do is sit in the hotel. it just sucks. there is a 7 hour time difference, which means that as i sit here with two babies awake wayyy too early on a saturday morning, kevin is out sightseeing. the thing is this: he cares nothing about seeing any of it. nothing. i am so jealous i almost can't stand it...he travels a lot and i am used to feeling sad that i can't be with him. but it really does bother me that he gets to travel the country and the world and have all of these experiences without me. he eats lovely food and sees amazing things. and i stay here and cart children around while he travels to place like hawaii and egypt. sigh...

i know i should be so excited that i am meeting him in paris in 5 days, and i am. i have never been overseas, and i know it will be so much fun! but between paris and egypt, i'd have chosen egypt every time.... and tomorrow when he is working, i'll be excited about my trip to paris. today i am just sad...

on a different note, i actually scrapped a page:



i don't love it or anything, it is purely functional scrapping, and it was good to know i hadn't forgotten how! :)

i need to go and get breakfast for these little munchkins...

Oh I always hate when DH goes away. He gets to go someplace fun and I am stuck at home with no help and 3 little ones upset that he isn't there! Hope you have a wonderful time in Paris!
