Steve has gone....It's Time To Party!

Comment Published at 00:2900:2935 comments35 comments63 Visits63 VisitsReport

 Just joshing of course., it has only been 11 hours since Steve left for Perth and I am already feeling a little lost this way.... The other half of me, is missing.

Late yesterday afternoon after doing a final check list that everything was packed, Steve decided to inform me what time we needed to wake-up to get him to the airport 4.30am, can't repeat my response.

Armed with this information we both headed to bed in the hope of a few hours sleep....Well one of us slept!   When I have to be somewhere at a certain time, sleep eludes me, like it did last night, till about 4am when my body said enough, go to sleep, only to be jolted awake with "JANICE HERE IS YOUR COFFEE, IT IS TIME TO GET UP"  He is lucky I love him to pieces...Haa Haa!

After seeing Steve off at the airport through a few tears, I drove towards home and headed to our headland to watch the morning sun rise.

It is going to be a very long 17 days till Steve returns.

Hope Everyone had a Wonderful Day, it was absolutely glorious here today 25 degrees with the sun shining in all her glory.

Much Love

Re: Steve has gone....It's Time To Party!

I saw the title of your blog and immediately thought- "surely she doesn't mean that!".  Then read on and saw that you didn't really mean that. LOL.

At least you got to see a beautiful sunrise.

We'll keep you company Janice!

love josie

 I couldn't ask for better company Josie, but first you need to rid your home of all those nasty bugs that  have your little ones feeling miserable...I hope those bugs find the front door quick & smart and smiles and laughter return in their wake.

Take care sweetie.

Love Janice

Steve flew out of Sydney around 10am, you might have passed him and didn't even know it!

Yes Mand nothing beats Sydney and the Harbour, especially at night...did they have the lights on the bridge for you...I did ask them to Haa Haa!

Re: Steve has gone....It's Time To Party!

Janice, think of your time apart as a blessing.  You get to be completely in charge for a while and can think of new ways to keep your man under control when he comes back! LOL.

17 days isn't that long...time will fly and just as you are getting used to the peace and quiet, he will walk through the door to disturb it.  Men can't win! LOL.

Love the sunrise.  That's about the only time I get to see it, in photos! LOL

I know the time will fly and I do relish the peace & quiet not saying it isn't when Steve is home, LOL!

I'm with you arna sunrise's I normally see in photo's not in person.

Re: Steve has gone....It's Time To Party!

It will go past quite quickly Janice I am sure. I know how you feel. I went down to the post office and picked up my passport today. It is getting closer til I am with my other half now. I can almost smell it. Enjoy those beautiful sunsets Janice. Unfortunately it is raining over here today. It has been beautiful and sunny all week too! I am sure we will give Steve some sunshine while he is here though! xx

Re: Steve has gone....It's Time To Party!

 You sure do know how I feel sweetie....now you have your passport in hand the time will fly by, countdown started.

Steve landed in Perth to be told by his son that he is in charge of looking after his 4 grandkids for 2 days as his son was taking his wife away for the weekend to celebrate her birthday....don't know what the kids are going to eat as Steve is hopeless as far as cooking....Haa Haa!

Love Janice

Re: Steve has gone....It's Time To Party!

Haha, I can just see it. They will survive, kids have there tricks. They can always order in pizza! The kids may cook for him! Or make him sandwiches for dinner, depending on the age. He will love it, I bet!

Re: Steve has gone....It's Time To Party!

 Hope they like pizza's and fish & chips hehe! Yes he most certainly loves it and the time he spends with his grandkids as it is only once a year.

If you knew how bad Steve is in the kitchen ( ask Marg), I wouldn't want to leave my children in his care to be feed Haa Haaa! He can manage bake beans on toast & poached eggs that is his limit.

Love Janice

Re: Steve has gone....It's Time To Party!

17 days is a long time to be away from one another...the longest my hubby and I have been apart since we married is 4 days....(pssst today is out 5th wedding anni. ssshhhh)...LOL!

What a lovely picture you took of your sunrise...its raining here atm so no walk on the beach this evening...we haven't missed a year where we go back to the beach where we were married...maybe fit a walk in a little later...we are going out to dinner in a few...a late dinner.

17 days won't be long going...lots of walking on the beach, lots of minti and lots of chocolate and all will be grand...LOL! 

Take care,

T.

 Thanks T yes the time will pass quickly...Happy Anniversary not nice he is out though. Hope you had a lovely dinner out to celebrate 5 years.

Not good it is raining there and stopping you from having your walk, I just got back from a beautiful walk on this gorgeous sunny sunday...a bit walking this morning as it was high tide and not much sand to walk on, plus it was  soft, yucky.

Love Janice

Re: Steve has gone....It's Time To Party!

 It was just so peaceful and magical watching the sun peak it's head up in the horizon, to what was going to be a beautiful day.

How grand it would be having you & your children here with me, I would get to hold your two little angels, maybe not give them back hehe!

So look forward to seeing you all when you come home.

All My Love to you all

Janice xxxx

Re: Steve has gone....It's Time To Party!

awww Janice, thats the sunrise i was hoping to glimpse when i came over to your place in April. Your home was so comfy that i kept waking just after sunrise!

oh 17 days we will have to keep you occupied young lady!  Mmmm 25 degrees sounds perfect. its so cold in Melbourne, wet too. At least the wind has died down  somewhat.

what are we having? chocolate? icecream?  do pamper yourself. Tomorrow i will be thinking of you as you walk along the beach. That is if you arent asleep making up for the ride to the airport!

Remember Steve is only a phone call away!

luv ya heaps

Re: Steve has gone....It's Time To Party!

 Annie, I thought of you wanting to watch a sunrise while here, you were there with me as I was waiting in the dark waiting to see the sun pop it's head up over the horizon.

Yep 17 long days, this is the longest time we have been apart in all our years together. 

A T.V  meal for dinner ( don't tell Marg) but I enjoyed the chocolate Corneto yummy.! A walk along my beach tomorrow I will enjoy after  having a good nights sleep, with the help of a little pill.

Just heard from Steve he arrived safely.

Luv ya right back Janice

Re: Steve has gone....It's Time To Party!

Well no coffee in bed for you Janice for 17 days! Doesn't seem that long ago when he last headed off.

You won't believe this but I am actually hoping for a little bit of rain (as long as it stops straight away!) The ground is getting so dry here. Just a good shower, then stop would be perfect. The days have been so nice.

Re: Steve has gone....It's Time To Party!

 Oops forgot all about not recieving my morning cup of coffee...are you offering  Griz?????

Steve went to visit with his family in Perth last November.

We are never happy are we, it is amazing how much it has dried out just this past week....a shower would be nice just to freshen things up...they are saying no rain till around the middle of August. The days have been gorgeous.

Love Janice

Re: Steve has gone....It's Time To Party!

We'll have to meet up in Coffs one day soon. I do drive up most Wednesdays to take Luke from school to uni but usually drive straight back. So maybe we could fit a quick coffee in one week?
