The return of Tiffany, and happiness

How could we possibly describe the desperate situation that Joshua and I found ourselves in during the 14 incredibly long and arduous days without Tiffany? A few words come to mind: starvation, filth, depression, thai food take-out leftovers…again.
OK, so maybe it wasn’t that bad, but we sure didn’t enjoy being away from the best mother and wife in the world for that long, and miraculously she didn’t either! I was afraid that she’d enjoy her new-found freedom so much that she’d stay for a couple months!
She arrived back in Quebec exactly one week ago, and this has been one of the best weeks in our lives. It’s funny how being apart really makes you realize how much you appreciate somebody. We’ve all had a great time as a family together around the house, not doing anything special in particular, but just goofing around and having fun.
Other than that, Joshua started school again with Tiffany. He’s doing excellent with his learning to read. He gets impatient like every kid, but he’s very excited to start reading.
Just as a side note, thank you to those of you who gave me your, uhhh, “recipes” for great dishes such as ramen noodles and PB&J sandwiches. They were so, uhhh, “helpful” in helping us to survive those darkest days minus Tiffany.
The fact is that I make a very terrible housekeeper. Some things I can do well, but cooking is not one of them! After these two weeks, I have definitely decided that I don’t want to be a domestic homemaker when I grow up!
