so i experienced a first in parenting.
i some how made it through the first 13 years without throw up coming out of anyones nose- until last night, just before trick-or-treating. poor bryn. and poor me. i mean, it was nasty. it must have gotten stuck in his sinuses because for the next hour- while mike was with the other kids getting candy, i was helping him blow vomit out of his nose while he cried. it didn't help that i already felt sick to my stomach - which i've since learned is due to a case of amoebias- so experiencing that took serious self control. but. we were successful and after a few episodes of gillians island he forgot about the burning in his nose.
yes i have amoebias, which is actually awesome, because it means that after taking a lot of medicine, i should feel better than i have for the past month. maybe i'll have energy and an appetite and not so much nausea- which is all good and will come in handy while i single parent for three weeks while mike returns to the US.
yes, mike is leaving to go to the US in a few weeks. the funny thing is that after being here for 16 months here, i'm not as jealous of him going, as i am just going to miss him. i'm really going to miss him- not as in an extra pair of hands, just him. that guy i love. i'm also going to miss that we won't experience the 'returning for the first time' together and that will be weird. but i'm happy for him to see our family and our friends and old familiar places. i'm happy that he'll be refreshed and reminded and that he'll come home with good christmas gifts :).
it will be tough- and a lot of driving- and a lot of snack getting and fight stopping and many lonely evenings - but hopefully, we are getting all the sick out of the way now and hopefully that parenting 'first', will remain a parenting 'only'.
