The countdown continues

[Awoken]

Wow, I think a week is the longest I've gone between posts here.

I've been overwhelmed by the amount of stuff to do. I thought that the week without the kids would give me more time to get stuff done, and it's been the opposite really. Likely, it's also the time of the year: end of the semester work to do, more gigs with spring. I ended up with a pile of stuff to do every night after work.

I almost have no time to GAL; Really, once the dust settles (and soon I hope), I need to switch these priorities. Right now I'm dealing with putting the house in order, getting a refi in place, trying to push the details of divorce through, keep my business going, and a dozen other things.

It was tough being away from the kids for an entire week, although I've done it many times before when I'm away on gigs. This is different somehow, and I wonder exactly why? I spent a lot of time telling myself that is was just like when I was out on the road. I was a little frustrated because the apartment that W got does not have good cell phone access, so I can't reach my kids like normal. I usually talk to them everyday, and I couldn't all weekend.

It's odd, coming here and reading the threads of the newcomers, and realizing I've reached a place where I'm not dbing at all anymore, and wondering what I'm doing here on the board now.
I need to make more contributions to others here!
