Absence makes the heart grow fonder

I haven't seen my babies in a week.

To say my heart is empty is the understatement of the century.

Don't get me wrong - i got to do lots this week while they were gone and it was so nice to know they were taken care of. (a BIG shout-out to my in-laws for wanting them for a WHOLE week!!) And it was nice to go to the Sprint store without having to bring enough change to empty the candy machine. And it was nice to spoil my hard-working husband with a Park City getaway on Father's Day.

But, this could get old very quickly.
Oh, wait. It already did.
My tears are on overdrive and keep leaking without warning.

There's no one to...
... make me laugh out loud like Aj does.
...make me think like Gavin does.
...cheer me up like Sydney does.
...challenge me 
...give me hugs or kisses
...convince me that ice cream is a need not a want
...make me smile
...help me live life to the fullest
...give me company on outings
...snuggle on the couch
...spray me during a water-fight
...make dinner for (it's very boring eating alone)
...kiss good-night or good-morning
...etc.

As much as being a mom is a challenge and I often count the hours until I can steal away for a quick trip to the store or a long, overdue chat with a friend...

I MISS my babies.
They make it ALL worth it.
