It's late, and I'm tired

Most times, I hate the choices for "mood".  I'm friggin' tired and happy and relaxed.  Where is THAT mood, huh?  HUH?  Sorry, got grumpy for a minute.

Life went well today.  Kevin and I decided to grab a bite to eat before heading to Tractor Supply.  I called my Aunt Charlene and invited them to join us.  We ate quite well, but never made it to Tractor Supply.  That's 2 days in a row that I planned to go there, and didn't.  Damn.  Dinner was good, though.

The girls are still happy with life, but sounding more homesick with each call.  I don't know how much more I can take.  They'll be fine, as long as we keep telling them that they will.  Who's to tell me that I'LL be fine?  I can't stand it.  I want them home.  I want them here.  Someone PLEASE remind me of this when they're fighting and I'm pulling my hair out.

I miss Brett, too.  I don't want to know about his tickets, or his wrecks, or his upside down love life.  I just want to see him, and have him here.

Yeah, I'll live.  Most folks would kill for a month without kids.  I thought I would really enjoy it.  Nope.  God built into us, a longing for our children.  Mine's working full-force.  I want my kids here.  Everyone I love should be near by.

Next weekend, I'll see the girls.  I hope to see Brett soon after that.  He's leaving on vacation with his dad this Sunday.  I hope they have a good time.  I hope they get good pictures.  I hope everything is wonderful for them.  I hope they don't let Brett drive.

OK, time for bed.  See ya later, alligator!

AOL absolutely needs to add more "mood" options!  Don't worry, hon -- I'll link you back to this entry when you are frustrated with all the kidlets.  ;)

I never wanted more than a week without you kids... until after you got your drivers' licences.  Then you both drove me so nuts with worry, I was GLAD to see you gone.

Enjoyed this entry.  I don't know why we can't just enjoy some time away from our children, but right now I'd be willing to give it a shot.  And I know what you mean about AOL moods.....they almost never have the one I'm in/feeling listed!  -  Barbara

LMAO!...friggin'...amen!  You have EXACTLY voiced what I have felt/thought many times.  I will be back.  And you are a good person to have sent brook a package.                   C.

We do need more moods! I have a very happy girl here!
I know what you mean. When Brook would go away even for 1 night I would feel so alone. It seemed I would be more tired when she was gone than when she was home!
