I'm just going to ramble on...
During March I think M and I will see one another maybe 4 times. We both had our kids this past weekend and he went to San Francisco on business early this morning, won't be back til late Thurs, and I leave Fri around noon for a week in Paris. It's a school/professional org. trip that M strongly encouraged me to take. He could tell it was a great opportunity, knows me well enough to realize I'd never justify the expense unless encouraged to do so. Mon Dieu, that man really cares about me. Hmmm, anyone have a good gift from France idea for such a gem of a guy?
Then, when I get back, his kids have Spring Break, then the next week I have my kids for Spring Break. We literally exchanged a flurry of e-mails on Sun to sychronize our calendars. But that is what it takes for us to have time together. M is not a planner kind of guy, yet with our respective kid issues, work, school- life- he really tries to get things organized so we can spend as much time together as possible. Again, it is sooo nice to not have to be the only one to be responsible for maintaing our relationship.
This is going to be rough for me, I'm the need face to face interaction 2-3x /week minimum kind of girl. My phone bill, if I can get international service on my cell, will be huge. I wish he'd had the free time to go with me. I guess I really have fallen in love, this will be a fabulous trip yet all I can think about is how much I'll miss him and wish he were with me.

I don't have any great gift ideas, but I'm sure you'll find something perfect.
I am given hope because you and M DO both work to make your relationship work. It's a great role model for the rest of us- especially me right now.
Hopefully April is a little calmer and you can see each other more.
Moody, up way too late

Yes your cell bill will be huge - but you can text message him and he can call you back from a landline - rates overseas are much cheaper here in the US.
Anyway, I know exactly what you mean because I am like you that I need the face time. But if you are having fun in Paris the time will go by quickly and you will have a wonderful reunion.
Why don't you buy something slinky from there? LOL!! That will be a great surprise for him!! Also, they have so many nice confections - these great little almond cookies and they have wine and all kinds of stuff to buy - you will find something.
What will you do for spring break with the kiddos?
