I kept The Daughter out of school one day so she could say goodbye to her daddy. He didn't spend as much time with her as I had hoped. I guess that's what happens when one procrastinates on work stuff and prioritizes with family near the bottom. After almost 9 years one would think I would expect this, but still I always hope for better.
In order to fill up the hours after his departure, I scheduled a hair cutting appointment for all three kids. The Daughter, BabyBoy, and I went out for lunch first, then to do some retail therapy and then to pick up The New Girl for a much needed visit to the salon. All three got their hair trimmed then we stopped by for icies before heading home. We were home by 2:45 which would normally be the time The Daughter would be getting in the van at her school pick up line. The whole afternoon lay ahead of us with nothing to do but miss him, which was just the thing I was trying to avoid.

I wish I had something better to say. But I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, too. That sounds like a sucky situation even without the typhoid vaccine!
thats just sucks. when will he be back?
um, excuse my dumb ignorance, but one must go to a doctor's office for every other type of vaccine, wondering how you happen to have one in your house? Nosy curiosity, that's all.
i'm a mad scientist cooking up all kinds of live stuff and storing it in the fridge right next to the kid's milk and cyanide pills
that's a joke, btw
the vaccine came from a doctor but has to be refrigerated and taken over several days starting a week before entering such-and-such country. the others were shots or technically boosters since he had it all before in the army.
ali, he'll be stateside in time to put up a christmas tree.
it does suck, but there is more that i'm not ready to talk about yet
