T-minus 3 days and counting…

Well, today is my last day working before I head off to the Fatherland.(Germany for those of you who have not been paying attention.) I am spending the day wrapping up last minute Client issues, begging my co-workers to handle my email when I’m gone and generally being as lazy as possible before the last push to clean the house, do the laundry, pack and head off to a land far, far away.

My two weeks of bachelorhood have pretty much sucked. I realize now that I am a married man and father. I miss my wife and kids way too much to be a single guy. I have also lost about 10 pounds in the last two weeks because I haven’t been eating that much. And the answer is no, I do the cooking around here. It’s just that I haven’t been cooking because there is no one to cook for.  I also hate fast food most of the time and so my dinners have consisted of microwave popcorn and glasses of water. I know, I said I’m lazy.

In my defense, I have also been busy traveling around the state on client meetings and sales calls. So I haven’t been home much in the last two weeks to enjoy my time alone. So, I have to clean the house for my friend who is house sitting and pet playing. I have to do the last minute laundry, bed linens etc, and I have to wrap up the bill paying so my house is here when I get home.

Other than that, I can’t promise that I will be posting while I’m in Europe. I am not sure what the internet access will be like while I’m there. We’ll see. Also, have you seen what is going on with the dollar lately. Boy are we getting screwed when it comes to the exchange rate. Thank you Bush administration. They are the gift that keeps on giving.

I will miss you when I’m gone. Stay in touch and I’ll bring you back something from Germany.

  2. Losing those 10 pounds could be a problem when you start downing those German brews (braus?) Enjoy, and say hi to Hasselhoff for me!

  3. Ahhh, what a sweet man you are to miss your wife and children so. I should only hope that if my husband were left for two weeks without us, he might be miserable too (that sounds bad, I know).

    Have a great time!

  4. I’m putting my order in for lederhosen now. Oh, and some of that yummy white wine they make over there. Cheaper than water, it is. And even better. Yum.

    Bon voyag-ee!
