Love Thursday

I have forgotten the last few Thursdays to do Love Thursday. Today after reading Amanda's post, I was reminded that it is indeed Thursday. And even though I already posted today (a long, not sure what I was trying to say post), I do have a Love Thursday post as well. You get a two fer today.

Early Saturday morning, January 6, I will put my Emma on a plane. I will not be getting on this plane with her. She will be going to California with her Tia (Mark's sister who is 27, I think) to see Mark's father. I know she will be in very capable hands with Emily. I know Emily will guard her with her life and I know the girls will have a great time together. That is not was saddens me.

It is not the first time my girl and I will be separated for a few days. She will be coming back on Tuesday afternoon. So her absence will only be four days. We have been apart for that long a few times before. It is not that I am not used to that sort of time apart. It is not that I want to be going too. It is what do I do without Emma here?

Davis and I have had very little time alone together. Emma was in preschool and then Pre-K two half days a week when Davis was very small. She was done with that when Davis was only a year and a half old. So I know it will be fun and good for him and I to have that mommy and son time. It will be weird but good.

Emma drives me crazy. She is just like me and we butt heads on a daily basis. She talks non stop and just will not give me a break for anything. It is this exact thing that I know I will begin to miss come Monday morning. I know the house will seem too quiet without her in it. I know that I will miss her view on life and her questions that normally drive me batty. I know that I will miss her sweet face.

I know that the very things that make me crazy about her are the same things that I love so very much about her. I know those are the things that I will begin to miss while she is away.

Love is knowing that the things that drive you crazy about someone are the very things you love the most.

Mommy will miss you Emmaline.

my girl

**To make matters worse, Mark is on his way out of town for a business trip. I will miss his asking me to rub his feet tonight. I will miss the sound of his CPAP machine as I try to fall asleep without him by my side tonight. Two things that normally bother me.....**

And Just Like That.....

I made the fatal mistake of reading reviews and articles before watching a single episode of the show.  I knew full well I would watch every episode regardless.  I read anyway.  Spoilers? Not bothered.   Let me give some back story here.   At 17/18 my dream had been to go to a big city (Chicago was my thinking at the time), get my degree in journalism/editing/publishing and go work at a big time magazine.  Keep in mind we are talking about the mid 90's here so the idea that magazines would cease to be relevant was not even on my radar.  I had been editor of my high school yearbook and unbeknownst to me at the time, we were actually doing the yearbook by coding and would get printouts hoping we had coded copy correctly.  I just typed the copy I was supposed to type with the weird little codes that had been given to me on a piece of paper.  I would later discover this was actually HTML code we were doing.  Who knew?  This fu...

Why Choose It?

Judy posted a comment about being jealous at two weekends away from the kids. About how she figured it would be a long time before she got that chance. I have to admit, I thought better her than me to have the new baby. After our two weekends away and Mark joking that it was his ploy to convince me to not have anymore, I have to say.....I think it worked. After thinking about it and being able to get away so easily because the kids are bigger, I could not help but think, why go back and do it all again? If you had a choice between going out of town for the weekend or being stuck, tied down to a newborn who was feeding from your breasts every two hours and waking every three ,which would you choose? To which one might say why ever have kids at all.....fine. I have TWO. I have done it TWICE. Not only that, but for anyone who cares about it, I have one of each. One is almost seven, the other almost three. Granted Davis is not potty trained yet, but he does change his own diaper sometimes...
