As a stay at home mom, I really look forward to Monday and Friday mornings, when I drop Acadia off at day care and get a few hours to myself.
Yet every single time I drop her off, I can't help but feel a little lonely on my way home. This morning I saw two yellow school buses in a row and my heart skipped a beat - I almost shouted, Guess what I see?!?! A "cool" bus!! But there was no one in the back seat to shout it to.
When I pass the farm with the cows, there is no one to say, "Ooooooh! Momma! Mooooo! Moooo, mamma!!"
When I come home, the house is eerily quiet. There is no one running into her closet and giggling like mad, as she has most obviously found the perfect hiding place from mommy.
So, yes, my breaks are nice and much needed some days, but I inevitably feel lonely and itchy to pick her up....as hard as parenting can be, I am constantly reminded of all the joy and laughter she brings into our lives...and for that, I will always be grateful...

this is one of your sweetest posts honey...miss you. xooxoxoxoxo M.
I feel like that as well when Sean goes to Mother's Day Out. Some days I'm in the parking lot up to 45minutes early b/c I can't stand to be away from him longer than that.
That was a very nice blog and message, and I think that a lot of us feel this way. I work full time, but can't stand to be home when Vinny isn't there. It just doesn't feel "right." I do that same thing too, when I see something out the window when I am driving with out him and want to point it out, but realize that he isn't in the seat behind me. It makes me sad and want to have him there with me.
Thank you for this blog... it made me smile today, while thinking of Vinny.
