With my wife buying a clinic out of the area, she and our baby have moved in with her parents, until we buy a house. The boys and I are at home, until the school year is over. So I have become a weekday single parent. Since I don't have to work, it isn't that bad. But its the loneliness that gets you. You get so used to someone there either watching TV, talking about the day during dinner, and especially sleeping in bed. Two Pillows lined up, make a pretty poor wife replacement. I don't mind taking care of the boys by myself, its pretty routine, I've done it for years. But the evenings are the worse. Its a boredom that is hard to describe. You physically feel the other half missing. It is only temporary and that is the good thing. I just have to keep busy. I can only imagine how hard it is for real single parents.
Lucky for me only one of my boys, seems to be really sad at the current situation. But he has been always mommy needy. My youngest boy seems to live by the seat of his pants, so he's like whatever. It is not fun dealing with the disappointment weekly, that we have to separate from Mom, every Sunday. I know its hard for me, but I understand. Children don't quite get it. The trick is to keep busy. Well maybe its for me. Because just sitting around makes me sad.
So the next few months I'll have to make the best of a crappy situation. Maybe the Sabres can bring some joy, and distract me. But leaving your hope and joy for a Buffalo Sports team, is always a bad idea. If any readers have ideas, or hobbies, that can make time fly by, let me know. And no, drinking isn't one of them. Though, trying out new beers might not be a bad idea. But I try not to drink around my kids. Its a thing I have.
Bringing back my blogging has been the only real change of this situation. Soon I'll have fun features of things I haven't done here before. So still looking for suggestions of unique Buffalo things to try before I leave.
