05/07/2002 Entry: "Bummed"
Well, thus begins the Period of Progressive Grumpiness. Eric leaves for corporate headquarters right after work today; he won't be back until late Friday night. This is not going to go over well with Samuel, beginning tonight when he begins to wonder why Daddy isn't home yet. I figure that by Friday evening, we should be encountering some serious turbulence.
I have a secret weapon, though, to use in cases of extreme need. For whatever reason, my son adores Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I pop in the DVD, and he crawls right over to the TV to pat her face and gaze up in fascination. It usually gains me at least twenty minutes of peace, though I do sit with him and narrate.
And then, of course, is my plan to keep the time as packed full as possible. Tomorrow we're going to the zoo, and Friday we're hopefully going yard-saling with friends. No plans yet for Thursday, but I'm sure something will arise. Any suggestions? It's supposed to be rainy.

I hope it won't be too bad, but he's such a Daddy's boy. He sleeps restlessly when Eric's not in bed with us. :-(
Amy, how far away are you?
Oh, and he also likes the girls in the anti-smoking commercials. Always stops whatever he's doing to grin at the screen. I think he recognizes their voices, because he'll even come in from another room.

His fascination with Buffy is further proof to my theory that Sam will grow up to be one heck of a ladies man.

OOHHH it may not be as bad as you think. He could get used to daddy being gone really quickly. I remember being upset about Matt leaving for basc training when Matthew was a year old, but he actually did very well. Lots of attention from mommy! :) Have FUN at the zoo!! I am JEALOUS!!! Tell my hippos hi for me. OH and BTW, how was Juds? Jeds? I have no idea what exactly it is. I just know that someone here got to see you, and it wasn't ME! *pout*
