I am a home-body. I would be content to work and stay at home, unless of course we are doing some kind of weekend adventure with the kids. I love my family. We don't really do a lot with our extended family, but much of our time is concentrated on us. Even more so, when our time is limited due to the frustrations of work and church obligations. So, now...I'm spending my first 3.5 days without the kids! I can tell you I already hate it!
When I called and spoke with them tonight, they each prayed for me over the phone that I am safe and "bless Mami trip". How precious! I love my babies! I don't like not being able to hug and kiss them goodnight!
Ben says he can handle it...I sure hope he wakes Diego to go chi-chi before he turns in. (Sometimes, that helps to prevent accidents!)
The trip, thus far, not bad. The people are really nice. The hotel is nice. It is "The Jefferson". The rooms aren't all that, but the downstairs is beautiful! And one plus, I get to mark Virginia off my list! Now, I was wondering earlier...could I find a Christian here and tell them my story and get them to pray for Sherri and her family so we can mark that state off? Hmm....
I brought tracts with me. I will begin to leave them in various places in the hotel tomorrow. There are about 250 Diamond Employees coming to this conference. There is a formal/semi-formal dinner tomorrow night. Then workshops on Mon and Tues. We will leave for the airport around Tues at noon or so.
So, pray for me and Ben, and the kids! Thanks!

Whenever my parents would go out of town, they would bring us back the little soaps and shampoos from the hotels. We thought we were so special! We'll pray for you and your family. It's hard being away by yourself but just think of those little faces saying "Mami! Mami!" when you get back to town. Priceless!!
Wendi, I'm getting a dose of that missing my kids thing too this week. It's not fun and I miss my babies so very much! I had never left their side... only one night did they have an overnight sleepover at a friend's house. Don't you feel naked without them around you? I sure do! I'll be happy when we're all back together because I don't like this not having them around. I'll be praying that God help guide you through the next few days and safely reunite you soon with family. I have one more week's worth of work to do here and I can't wait to get back to my kiddos!
Awwww...its going to be ok. And it will be over before you know it. Safe travels and while I know you are missing the kids terribly, enjoy a little personal time too. My long weekend in Napa was just the thing I needed to deal with a very active little boy (and it helped the DH understand what its like for me when he is away so much...so bonus!). Read a book if you like to read...something just for fun. Do something you miss doing that is hard to do when you are busy with the kids.
