Missing Our Girlies

We are blessed to have family in town. Last night Little Mama got to stay with Grandma and Nature Girl got to stay with Sissy. I am sure they had a big time. They count down days and make lists of all the things that they want to do together. Little Mama's list consisted of mostly places to eat. I am pretty sure if she had stayed with Grandma for a whole week they couldn't have eaten at all of the places she had listed!! I do know she got two milkshakes yesterday which could explain why she was so giddy when I spoke to her at bedtime :) Nature Girl's list consisted of shopping. I believe she and Sissy got to at least one store and Sissy bought her a Build-A-Bear. I am glad that they have those times to spend with family. But, Boop and I were lonely!! It was so quiet here last night. Only one bath to give, one set of teeth to brush, one pair of P.J.s to put on. I let Boop stay up later because I didn't mind him hanging out. We read a book together and took our time getting tucked in to bed. Then it was sooooo quiet. No trips to the bathroom, no last minute questions or requests. As much as I hate to admit it, I was lonely. It was too quiet, too calm, too relaxed. Don't miss understand, when they ask again I won't say "no." But, I do miss them terribly when they are away . . . .
