Brandon has been gone all week in Idaho for work, and I am missing him a lot. It is very lonely without another adult around, you can't have much conversation with a 4 month old. I have been able to spend a lot of quality time with Ella this week, which is wonderful, but I am finding it difficult to juggle everything without Brandon's help. I have gotten a taste of what it must be like to be a single mother, and I have so much respect for those women.
I know that Ella misses her daddy too. I know she is too young to really notice that he is not here, but everytime I am on the phone with him Ella starts babbling away like she is telling him about her day too! I'm not sure this helps him though, it seems to make him miss her more when he hears her little voice on the line with me.
I think that this trip is harder on him that it is on me though. I have Ella, family and friends to be with here, and he has no one. I know he loves his job, but I am not sure he is going to be able to handle being away from his family this much. It makes me sad to hear his sad voice on the phone talking about how much he misses us and how he can't wait to come home. He will be doing a lot of travel this summer, and I hope he will get used to being gone, or he will get more and more miserable with each trip he takes.
He comes home tomorrow afternoon though, and I just have to make it through one more night, one more morning, and one more work day before I can see him again!!!
