Shane only left yesterday, but we are all missing him a lot!!!!!! I didnt sleep so great last night, and Noah was also awake in the night with some nightmares. It has been pretty crazy the past few days trying to get Shane all ready to go for this trip. Now, that he is gone all I want to do is sleep for a few days and relax. I know this is crazy, but I am still studying during the kids nap time from 12-2 in the afternoon and then I go get Noah from school. I have been working so hard, and I know that if I have this week off I am going to forget the huge amounts of new vocabulary that I have been working on.
This morning Noah gave me this note: "I like to help mom wen dad gone." So cute! Noah is really making a big deal out of helping me out and that it is his job to take care of me. I feel so loved. Dave is definately in "full form" today! I got mad at him for not listening and he told me to settle down (ahhhh!) and that he misses Daddy too! Poor thing. Lately, I have really been asking God to show me the world through their eyes. They miss Shane just as much if not more than me, and they definately feel just as tired-I have no doubt.
Tonight and Friday night, we are going over to friends houses for dinner. That will be great for the kids, and on Thursday one of my friends is going to take us out to eat so that will be good too and help the time pass. I just cant believe how tired I am. Maybe I am still getting over Typhoid? I dont know. I had great dreams of staying up last night and watching Sense and Sensibility, but I ended up listening to music and going to bed at 8! I have a whole bunch of Jane Austen movies that I would love to watch this week while Shane is gone. If he watches them with me, he is too much of a critic and makes too much fun of them!!!!!!
Well, please keep praying for us all. I got a text from Shane saying that he made it ok last night, but I am not sure how things are today. I dont even know if he can text or call because he is out in some village somewhere. Oh dear....learning to trust....learning to trust!
Here is a photo of the kids with Noah's teacher, Aunt Marilyn. She came for dinner last weekend. Noah and Dave were over the moon. It was great for them....and us too! She has been here for over 30 years. Wow...it was great to just chat with her a bit.
