the week ahead

My heart is heavy this morning.  David left home for an early morning flight headed for Belize (along with my mom and dad).  They should be just about ready to take off for Atlanta.  He will be gone for a week, and Dennis isn't happy about it.  When I took him to school this morning, he sadly asked "why do I always have to go to school?" and I explained that he would get to learn.  He told me "I'm already done learning."  He left the car and walked into the school with his head tilted down and his shoulders sagging a bit, walking more slowly than I've seen him walk.  Poor little guy--he's got a big adjustment to make just with school and now he's worried about his Daddy being away for a week.

We have a big week planned ourselves.  Wednesday night the church is having a big end of summer social and I've got lots of booths and tables to set up, lots of games to prepare.  Dennis has Taekwondo tonight and Thursday.  Preschool orientation is this week, so I'll meet the parents tonight and the new students on Thursday morning.  And, depending on what the impending hurricane does, we most likely will be headed to the beach for the weekend!  I wish I could skip ahead to Friday.
