Tearing My Heart Out

After a wonderful weekend spending time with Tia and Oompa (and my family and Brian) I left to come home and E stayed up there. She's staying the week because her daycare is closed and Tia offered.

Well, I talked to her yesterday evening and she says to me "Mommy, I want you to come pick me up." "I can't," I say. "But I WANT you tooooooo....." And then my heart was ripped out of my chest.

I talked to her this morning and she seemed in a much better mood. She had made herself some chocolate milk (the all-time best comfort food). She had climbed the ladder at the playground (very exciting!) She reported many details to me, then politely asked if I would like to speak with Tia. While I was talking to Tia, she said "Oh, wait. I forgot." Tia handed her the phone. "I love you, Mommy." "I love you too, Doodlebug." -- and my heart was ripped out of my chest... again.

I miss her. But I'm glad she's spending quality time with Tia and Oompa.

To Antietam (again)!

Nat's mom is in town for the week. Her birthday is today, so my mom is making dinner tonight and Nat and I are attempting a lemon meringue pie. Then tomorrow we are headed to Antietam for a wonderful weekend with Tia and Oompa.

E spent her first night without a diaper on last night... and guess what happened! She peed --- in MY bed! I guess that's my fault. But whatever. I tried. She hadn't peed in her diaper at night for 3 weeks, so I thought it would be ok. I guess that's what I get for thinking.

My blog isn't currently allowing me to post pictures. So I will do a separate post later of just pictures.

Peace!
