Yay, Friday!

Wood comes home tonight! I'm glad. And sad.

I know his mom and the boy miss him a bunch. Not to say that I don't, but being solitary periodically is so good for my soul. Being married is good for my soul, too, just a different part of it.

Him coming home is a transition and that brings stress. Hopefully I can respond very little to his bad moods, particularly when his expectations aren't met and he acts like a martyred baby. That sounds so mean - but when he gets upset and lashes out. My ongoing issue is to be appropriately responsive and compassionate, to talk through it instead of lashing back...

We have plans for Twig to have 1:1 daddy time in the am, I get time in the pm, and grandma will likely get him around Dinner time. I hope that will aid in the transition.

I really am looking forward to him coming home.
