Day (Not sure)

Seems like it's been a lifetime. Harder when one of the girls is sad and crying. Want to hold her and make it better.

Don't understand how you can just release a living being. Turn your back on it, like it never mattered.

More Later.

Day 20

So I missed several days.
Very lonely today. Very.
Wish I was headed to the cabin.
The worst feeling in the world is feeling lonely even when you have people around.
Sometimes just a hug and a smile and feeling important to those you love is all it takes.
39 days to go.

Day 4

Day 4
Went well. Worked all day and then came home to take Miss Ellie for a walk and field game of Frisbee. She seems to be adjusting better. Lance switched his shift at work so I wasn't alone.
I realize that he can make me so unbelievable upset because I love him SO much.
Little bugger!
Punky called at 9:20. They had just crossed over the Alberta border into British Columbia.
I'm thankful that they are well, happy, and having such an enormous adventure!
Love you Girlies.

Day 5
Can this be right! Almost a week!?
Took Miss Ellie to the Vasa Trail after work tonight. 5K and that silly girl still wanted to come home and play Frisbee!
She's a good girl.
Lance will be home soon.
No word from the girls tonight. Hoping they will call soon.
(Maybe the crossing over the border didn't go so well this time.)
Miss you Babies...

Cont...

Day 2

Ended well.
I did awesome at the driving range and most importantly, the girls sound great!
They'll be stopping 2 hours into Montana- entering Canada on Day 3

Day 3

Church was wonderful
Got a call from Peanut's cheerleading coach that her squad took a 2nd at States and is headed to Nationals July 25th.
Bittersweet feelings, as to whether we made the right decision and if this is the way it will be for her every Summer.
Doesn't seem fair to her, but I don't believe she will want to change it.
Only pray that Punky will be back in time for volleyball try-outs.
It's all she has.
Mommy loves you girls.
Here's hoping you make it through Customs.

Summer 2009

Day 1-
Went to a Beach Bums Game.
Fun and amazing!

Day 2-
Another "flippin" day of bliss.
Just shoot me and get it over with!
It is SO true that a woman's children are the only things that carry her through life.
I can handle a physical fight!
DON'T give me the silent treatment!
Talk about ruining the sunshine!

I'm alive though!

Awakening

We were at The Lodge this weekend with friends.

Peanut, now 12, stood in front of me as we waited for a water slide and I lost my breath! There stood my baby. My precious little girl - in a bikini. A beautiful white polka dot bikini. She looked stunning. A figure that somehow I have been blind to. Beautiful skin! Uh.

How could that happen? My precious little one.

Punky, I know. Her blue eyes shining- hair on top of her head- flowing blond- but Peanut... where did she go?

I was lucky enough to have been with my girls since they were born, but lately - obviously, not seeing them as they stand right in front of me.

Is this so? Is this how it happens?

Last night we cuddled in our bed playing games- my baby once again.
Punky,at the door, home from the gym. Beautiful and glowing.

Just the way it should be.
