The Great Escape!
Before I get to the "great escape" I have to get something off my chest. The next person that tells me a month isn't a long time is going to get punched in the face. It has just been a week and already it feels like forever. Why don't you go without your husband, your kids without their dad for a month! Stop giving me grief when you know and are well aware it is hard on me and the girls to be without Sean.
I miss you so much that it hurts. To me, NTC is so awful because we will go days without speaking to one another (no cell phone/text messages, no emails, NOTHING). It is hard.
Back to our children. Yesterday at nap time, I set Emelia down in her bed, covered her with her "me me," kissed her and left. I went to the computer room and sat down. A few minutes later I hear what sounds like knocking on her door from inside the room. My mind couldn't figure out how that was happening and I thought Autumn was in Emelia's room. I go and open the door to discover:
A great big mess and one little Miss walking all around her room. Oh so proud of herself for being able to get out of her bed all by herself. Her only problem, she cannot open the door. I am thinking when you get home, we'll switch her out to the toddler bed and pray that the transition goes smoothly.
I put her back in her crib to see if she could do it again, partly out of morbid curiosity. I wanted to see how she did it, but she wouldn't do it with me watching her!
Finally the girl fell out on the couch.
Autumn knocked out too. The girls are feeling a little under the weather. They have snots and coughs. Poor kids.
Last night both girls went right to bed at 8 pm. I went to bed at 9 pm. I was sleeping really good until 230 am when I hear Millie crying. I was afraid she had climbed out of her crib, so I went to check on her. When she saw me, she just said, "mommy!" I picked her up and put her in the bed with me and we both immediately fell back to sleep.
At 630 am this morning I woke up and looked over and both the girls were in the bed with me. This isn't a trend I want to start, but everybody is feeling rough. Even I woke up with a sore throat and scratchy, itchy eyes. I'm thinking it is our allergies and the weather cannot make up its mind. Millie was in good spirits when she woke up and was saying, "Hi!" over and over. Autumn finally says to Millie, "I think that is enough talking now Baby." It was so funny!
Millie always wakes up in a good mood. Autumn is off at school. She is on the letter T this week, so she brought a train for show and tell and she brought her Dylan Bear for the teddy bear picnic they are having. We are headed to the library and park after school. I think we are supposed to hit 76 degrees today and I want to take advantage of the sunshine! So we'll do lunch and play and a late nap.
I love you and miss you very, very much.
A month IS a long time to go without hearing your little girls laugh or having your daddy give you a "der ride."
