Tonight, I am going to enter an empty house, that will stay empty for the entire weekend.
For the first time in 6 years I will be away from my family for longer than a single full day.
There was never a reason to be apart for longer than that.
This weekend however, my wife and kids are going to a holiday park for Grandpa's birthday, together with my wife's sister and her son.
This morning I said goodbye to my wife and kids as I left for work, and I won't be seeing them until mondaynight.
I'm glad that I got a chance to say them goodbye, the kids were junglegym-ing it allover me of excitement over this weekend. They're looking forward to it so much.
So much that they're not sure they're going to miss me.
But, as the oldest said, he's never been away from me this long, so he doesn't KNOW if he'll miss me.
I'll not make it any prettier than it is. It is going to be really weird, coming home tonight to a house devoid of sound and noise.
No running bathwater - They are usually being put in bath and to bed by the time I get home
No running feet upstairs trying to dodge the bullet of having to go to bed.
No 'Daddy's home !!'
No 'Hi Honey' from my wife either.
And that for the entire weekend.
It is going to be weird. Nice for a change (to have the weekend 'off'), but weird, and I am sure I'll miss them long before the weekend is over.

I was gone from home for four days last month, it was incredibly strange. Or maybe I was incredibly strange.
Anyway, there was strangeness involved somehow!

Strangeness is as strangeness does .... we can't help but feel how we do and being away from eachother for any length of time longer than usual will feel odd.

A house isn't a home unless there's life and activity in it. I'll guess I won't be home but housesitting this weekend.

Aww, I can imagine it being strange! I hope the weekend won't feel too long for you and hey, let's hope your kids won't miss you too much (a little bit though), because it'll mean they are having a great time :-)

Yeah I hope they'll at least look forward to seeing me again, but I'm sure they won't get sick with missing. They'll have a blast with grandpa and their cousin.

You will not meet with your family till monday. I am feeling that without them you feel very alone. You are missing out on many of them.
Truly one house can not be home without family

Enjoy your solitude, you still have them (must be hard though)...
Anyway, I'm sure that more than half of the planet would like to exchange their problems with this one ...
I think you're a very, very lucky man (and I'm sure you've worked very hard to be so "lucky"). Wish you the very best :)

1st world problems, sure I get it. Problems is all a matter of perspective though. And this is not a problem as such, just me writing about an event in my life and how I feel about it. I can't carry the weight of the world on my back. Nor can anyone for that matter.
