a week apart

| | Comments (5)


I am about to fly out to Tokyo for work. I will come back next Saturday. I have mixed feelings...it's always refreshing and wonderful to be back "home," but this time I am leaving Tesla with daddy. She has come twice with me on these business trips, but now she's at the age where international travel is not easy.

This will be my first time away from Tesla for more than 12 hours. I will miss her dearly. And I know she looks for me after a long day, calling "maaamaaa" at the front door. Not being able to comfort her will break my heart. But she and daddy are super close and maybe she will adjust fine. And it's about time I re-experience walking around a city as "Mie" and not "mommy." I am looking forward to enjoying my own thoughts!

But I will really really miss her and this is hard.

I hope you have a safe trip to Tokyo!

They say (not that I would know because I am yet to have children) that kids adjust a lot easier than parents...

I hope you don`t miss Tesla too much...and I hope she does well with her Daddy.

You said you didn`t have warm clothes to bring, and it is freezing here, so go buy a coat so you don`t catch a cold!!!

Would love to meet you one of these days when you are in Tokyo!

Take care

Why don't you take a pillowcase, and iron-on a big picture of your face on it? (And of course put a big comfy pillow in there!) Then when she misses you, she can lay down next to "you" on the pillow, and "hug" you. Just a thought. It would be like a big mommy dolly, so she wouldn't miss you as much! Hopefully!

That's a great idea Laura. I have some of those iron on ink jet things too!

Wow...I can easily guess you really miss her;;
And of course, Dev-san & Tesla-chan will miss you too!
But maybe it would be a good chance to work in Japan as a working woman, not a mother, ne?
I really wanna meet you in Japan!
