The Missing Begins
He left this morning. Hasn’t been gone all that long. I miss him so badly already.
Realized again how very blessed I am to have a husband that works from home. Have taken for granted all the little ways he helps me out day in and day out. Our bed seems so big and empty. Will be sleeping with Doodlebugs tonight. We’ll probably both sleep better and it will help me not feel so lonely.Doodles had a good day. She is enjoying playing with her cousin ‘Mandy. They have a pacifier war going on with little skirmishes that break out from time to time. I have a theory that pacifiers are sort of like baby money/currency. No matter how many they have they want more. Cracked me up to see the two babies with their own respective pacifiers firmly clenched between toothless gums have a grab battle over the others. Both baby girls are very sweet and all things considered very kind to each other. Another favorite past time is bumper cars with the Walkers. ‘Mandy maneuvers a lot better than Doodles. This is fortunate for her because Doodles loves to get up as much speed as possible and ram into ‘Mandy’s walker. Watching the girls play Walker Bumper Cars is like watching slugs race. Everything is in slow motion. You can cook supper, set the table, make tea, wash the dishes and pack up the leftovers in the amount of time it takes them to bump their way from the kitchen to the living room.
My SIL Steph and I manned shipping by ourselves this morning. It was quite the stressful proposition trying to process shipping labels and then package all of the boxes and get them out the door before FedEx and USPS picked up. The babies cooperated initially by playing pleasantly but soon it came time for mid morning naps with no Mommies available to put them down for naps. One point I realized just how crazy it had gotten when I was trying to pack a box with a baby on both hips.
Where IS that third arm when you need it??Tomorrow is going to be another long day. Looking forward to the weekend!

Ugh..I keep thinking about next year when my judging starts up again and I’ll be away from Anna for a night or two at a time. Not really looking forward to that…
I hatehatehate it when Ryan is away. We always promise ourselves we will never allow it to happen again, but it always has to eventually. Get some extra cuddles from your little one and I hope the time will pass fast for you!
