After school, I took the kids to Chuck E Cheeses for a fundraiser for Emily's school. I used to enjoy taking them, with Ian, and playing with them. This time, without Ian, it was more stressful than I would have liked. I know they don't let kids out without checking their stamps, but still, it was nerve-racking to have to keep track of all three of them, but especially Daniel. He runs from one place to another insanely quick, and I can never keep up with him. I just see a blonde fuzz-head zooming between the games. Normally, Ian would be on Daniel watch and I would be manning the table watching out for the kids and taking them to the bathroom as necessary. Without Ian, I had to walk around with the kids and when one had to go to the bathroom, we all went. I just didn't like the idea of leaving the other two in the restaurant by themselves. We made it through without incident, but it wasn't as much fun for me. I usually love watching the kids play and run back to me with their tickets and watching Ian playing with Daniel. This time, while I had fun playing with Daniel and the girls off and on, I was more anxious about their safety than I would have been had my teammate been here to help me out.
This is just one of the many reasons I miss him. I know we are ticking off days from the calendar, and I love that fact, but I seriously can't wait to see him again. One day at a time, we are making it and getting closer.
