I always seem to have a lot to say, but 2nite, maybe for the first time, I don't. See, I don't do the home alone thing very well; and the rest of my family is out at a fishing event. Im certain I will reap the benefits of the event...my mouth is watering even now...but I seem to chase my tail when given all this 'girl time' at home. I forgot to eat dinner; I touched a whole variety of housework, yet finished none! I played with pets. I played on the internet. The simple fact is, I am so much better as part of a family vs on my own. They complete me!
I cried & cried last summer when we sent S. to summer camp for the 1st time. When we picked him up, the first words out of his mouth were the super-enthusiastic, "I'm coming back next year!!" Not, "I missed you mom" or "I was homesick only a little". Which, you know I wanted him to have THE BEST time, but somehow it wasn't fair that I fretted & worried & wrote him notes every day; and his thoughts were filled with everything but me.
Its just a part of the job as a mom to wear our hearts on our sleeves; and carry plenty of kleenex.
