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.
