All By Myself

Sunday
As I write this, Chris is in Canada getting up from a sleep in my favourite bed. He will get to see a lot of family today that I have not seen in 2 months. It doesn't seem that long, but a lot has happened since then and it wasn't easy not having family and friends around. Technology has brought us closer today than ever before. I think of when I my Grandparents left their home countries to go to Canada. There was no internet with email, Skype, Facebook or blogs. We have it good.
Carly was not at all happy that Chris was leaving for three weeks. She wouldn't go to sleep Saturday night. I let her pick out a t-shirt of Chris' to sleep in, she still wouldn't sleep. Not until I said go sleep on Daddy's side of the bed did she fall asleep. So now I have a new sleeping buddy. At least until Mama comes on Thursday, then Carly might sleep with her.
The girls have had a lot of fun riding their bikes the last few days. Also their lego table constantly has a castle or tower on it. I am loving having my piano, dishes and pots here.


Monday - Mid Autumn Festival, no school
Today, as I was coming back in the house, I closed the sliding door on my foot. It's complicated to explain, the door is not like our sliding doors at home. Think of a sliding van door, but lower to the ground. My foot was in the way and the door was closing no matter what. It hit me on the top of my foot just in front of my ankle. I am having trouble walking, but my girls took good care of me today. They kept my foot elevated and brought me ice. Tomorrow I will have to go see the doctor if it is not better.
Three more sleeps and Mama is here. I am so excited!!!
