And I really don't think I could be any more excited for it! I just put Nory to bed and I keep looking at the clock, hoping the minutes go by quickly so I can give him the world's biggest hug ASAP. He's been in Abu Dhabi for three days now and I think I reached my Phil-less limit 2.95 days ago. I mean - I miss him when I go a whole school day without seeing him, so you can imagine the SERIOUS AMOUNTS OF MISSING HIM that have been sweeping through my heart over the weekend. It's SUPER SERIOUS. And it's SUPER SERIOUSLY going to make my heart jump out of my chest the minute he wakes me up with a prince charming kiss later tonight. (I could be a bit hopeful about our dreamy reunion, as I also foresee an overtired, just-wants-to-go-to-bed hubby walking through the front door. But a girl can dream, right?!)
Despite all the Phillip-homesickness I suffered over the last few days (ha!), Nory and I made out pretty swell. We had Kumari come in so that I could get some Christmas shopping done (way easier without Nory in tow), but when I sent Kumari home each day, Nory was as good as gold. We danced around to Christmas music, did some laundry, read stories (the same ones, on repeat), played tag and hide and seek, watched some Disney Junior, made towers from colourful cups, shot some hoops, splashed in the bathtub, and snuggled (for as much as she would let me). We also wrote out all of the Christmas cards (she wasn't so much of a help here) and enjoyed screaming in admiration of the Christmas lights that Cathy and Shahid put up in the hallway. It was a jam-packed schedule when the two of us were alone together, but I don't so much mind the non-stop activity when it's accompanied by such a gleeful little soul. Nory makes life as a 'single' mom quite easy really and even the 4:30 wake-ups were just my cup of tea as soon as I saw her big grin peeking over the top of her crib. (Side note: If another child exists in our future, there's NOT A CHANCE things will go this smoothly). Anyways, it was rather nice to bond as a duo and it's nice to know I can handle things when Phil's not around.....
That being said, it is OBVIOUSLY EASIER when my husband is here too. We can trade off and take breaks and assist each other when needed. It would have been much easier to clean up our poo-laden child this afternoon if Phil was here also. I don't know HOW Nory looked the way she did post-nap, but it was everywhere and she was laughing at me as I tried to figure out the best way to clean her up. She's got a good sense of humour, that one. So does her Daddy apparently. When he's out of the country and excused from such scenarios.
Nory is now asleep and this is the first night I haven't gone to bed immediately after her. I must be a little excited about something....
OHHHHHHHH I have butterflies just thinking about him. This love we have is a good one. I MISS YOU BABES! xo
P.S. I wonder what presents he found for me on his mini-vacation.......(haha)

| All cozy beside me on the couch the other morning. I love this 5 minute cuddly period. It's hard to catch it, but when you do, it's the ultimate day-maker. |
