Dave comes home tomorrow.

I've waited over a year for this auspicious event.  He left on August 3rd last year, and since then I've seen him for a whole 2 1/2 weeks.  I've been daydreaming of this reunion for months. I wanted everything to be perfect - well, as perfect as reality gets. 

I didn't want to be ill.

I have a bit of a temperature, a scratchy throat, and a headache.  The back of my nose feels funny, like it usually does right before I get a snotty nose and a head cold.

I'm hoping that it's just because I'm sleep deprived (I have my neighbors to thank for that), and that a good night's sleep tonight will set me right again.  I'm hoping....because I really don't want my husband to step off the plane and see me, red-nosed, coughing and sniffling.  More importantly, I don't want to not be able to kiss him for fear of him getting sick too.  We have a ton of stuff to do next week, we can't afford for both of us to be ill.

So, I'm going to hope that it's just stress and fatigue, take some Nyquil and hit the hay early tonight.

Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow....hopefully...!

And stop thinking negative thoughts....he WILL be home tomorrow!

I dunno about that...but I'm cool with it.  Seriously, I'm taking it rather well.  There's nothing anyone can do about it, so I'm not getting all worked up over it.  I'd rather he stayed put until it was safe to fly...and you're right, it gives me another day to fight off the bug I have!

Have I ever told you guys how awesome you are...?   I feel a blog dedicated to my amigos and amigas coming on...

Two very good points. You've waited this long, another day or two should be a cakewalk!

Hey - that's a good idea, dharma - have some cake. Chocolate.

Yeah, this is no big deal.  I know he's coming home, and I know it will be soon.

Oooh.....I'm not using my oven anymore (I cleaned it and I don;t want to mess it up again) or else I would...I do have some strawberry cheesecake ice cream though.  I think that's a decent substitute!

Oh dear~ He will be home soon, and I am sure he feels the same pull that you do, that another minute is to long!

(Im sure he will be extra ready to pay back the noisy neighbors!)

When he gots home, send the kids to a friends and have at it!
