We're going on day two w/o Mark - only one more night of sleeping by myself! Yeah! - and we have today and all day tomorrow to go. I think we might be able to pull it off - we have to, right?!
Yesterday, I should probably just say that I started the day off w/ the last post - b/c of the lack of sleep I had just experienced, and it was all very fresh in my mind - and I'm happy to say that the day did get much better, and me fears did subside. Thank you Jesus! Kaia and I made the best of a nasty, rainy, cold and really miserable day as we could. Did some laundry for her, took a little nap, and even braved the elements - it was really only an annoying misting kind of rain out and very chilly - to go and see a friend for a play date. We did take the bus to see our friend, and Kaia really enjoyed that. It was her first time on the bus - I should have taken a picture! - and she seemed to love it much more than the dark, crowded subway we took on the way home.
Last night, before I went to bed, I was still feeling much better than I was the night before Mark left. And with a good nights sleep, and a good breakfast, sunshine outside, and another little play date today, I think I'll be doing well again - I'm going to choose to do well today!
Its all about choices - our attitude that is - and when we choose to move on and not dwell on the hard parts, for me anyway, things go much more smoothly. Besides, I don't have the energy to worry about what if the baby comes early the whole time Marks gone, or for the rest of this pregnancy for that matter! I'd make myself crazy, and besides, its SO draining! So, I'll choose to enjoy this time, rest in the knowledge that the Lord knows and is going to take care of us, and when the time comes, the time comes. Theres not too much else I can do anyway : )
So, day one, is done and over, and we're on to day two w/o Mark, Kaia and I can do it - we will do it!
