Dear E,

You're already infatuated with the new girl

so I should comfort myself knowing that you're

not going to miss me THAT much.

But still.

There's a knot where my stomach should

be and tears are heavy at the back of my eyes.

Sweet girl, how oh how am I going to get through today?

I love you,

ms. lyssa

almost friday

 This morning I though it was Friday.

This afternoon I thought it was Wednesday.

And all the time in between I was counting the hours

 and minutes to nap time.

While I listened to stories of the previous days school adventures

and gave another reminder to finish breakfast,

I was enjoying every minute and at the same time 

reminding myself "just a few more hours, you can make it".

As I put little man's sock BACK on for the umpteenth time

and scooted him back up in his chair
(because he is determined to scoot his little bum out of his chair when my back is turned)

I smiled to myself as I thought about how little man's whine sounds

exactly like miss E's whine and then looked at the 

clock to see how much time had passed since the last time I checked.

It was a hard morning/afternoon and I was so grateful 

to come home and put my achey sneezing head to bed again.

 And for all my counting of hours and longing for my nap

time I love my littles and I'm so grateful for my days with them.

 Happy Almost Friday,

xoxo,

lyss
