Doug spent the last two days and nights in Arizona for business. He used to travel monthly, but with his current position he is away overnight only a couple of times a year. When the Heinisch children were younger they would have a slumber party in my room when he was gone. They seemed to really enjoy it and I tried to make it fun as they hated Doug being gone. Now I only have one or two of them sleeping on my floor when Doug is away.
Doug remarked when he got back that we seemed to do pretty well without him. There were no calls of panic or questions of frustration about homework, practice or the house as there used to be. We have become more self sufficient, but that doesn't mean that we miss him any less. The Heinisch children have grown older and their needs are less. Thus, one parent for three works pretty well. We are glad that he is home, however. He is an important part of our family. Luckily, trick or treating has been changed to tomorrow evening, so he will be here for all of that or to take Cal to his event if need be. So, welcome home Doug. We are glad that you made it back safe and sound.
