Missing Mike

Today was the first day of no school for MEA - Minnesota Education Association. Most schools had classes today but our school had a teacher workshop day. Our speaker was wonderful and entertaining so it was a day well spent-for me. Mike, on the other hand, stayed home with our kids and two of our friend's (who teaches with me) kids. The day went fine but Mike was exhausted and had had enough of noise - you stick six to seven kids in our house and it is going to be loud. I got home promptly at 3pm to relieve Mike and not two hours later my sister and her two boys came over to play. I told Mike he should take off tonight to get a break from kids in general and knew he needed a break. He decided to go watch a football game. Now, it was my idea for him to take off and relax away from little humans but now...now I am pouty. I am glad he went out - he rarely hangs out with the guys (mostly because he likes to hang out with his family) so he really deserves a break. At the same time...I like having him around. I have gotten use to us spending most of our time together and when he isn't here - even if we aren't doing something together - I miss him.

Wah...poor me.

Guess that makes us lucky-we like to be around each other.
