How Many More Sleeps?

Brian is in Scotland for a week or so, visiting relatives and gearing up for his Gran's 100th birthday party on Saturday...and since it would cost close to $10,000 for all six of us to fly over, and we do not have that kind of cash just sitting around, that means I am home alone with four children on summer vacation.

It's only been two days since Brian left, but I know the kids are missing him (so am I, for the record), as can be witnessed from the following exchange...

Emma: "Is Daddy coming home today?"

Me: "No, honey, not today."

Emma: "What is the name of today?"

Me: "Um, Wednesday."

Emma: "Is Daddy coming home on a day called Wednesday?"

Me: "No, Emma, Daddy won't be home today. It'll be at least 5 more days before he comes home."

The big sigh that comes from her little mouth says it all...
