Harder to be gone

When I was a teacher, it was always harder to be gone. The preparing plans and the setting everything up made me feel like I could just as well be there.

I am coming to realize that it is the same thing with being a mom. Tomorrow I am an election judge for the Primary (be sure to vote, it is your most important power) and I have spent the entire day setting things up.

It is not that my kids are hard to deal with, I just want things to go well tomorrow. My dad is coming down and I just want him to have fun. It is just all the little things kids require that I worry about. And of course, I should really not sweat the small stuff. Someday I will be able to be like that.

This all is probably just a cover for the fact that I will not get to see the girls at all tomorrow. ;-)

Such a good mom you obviously are, not really wanting to be away for even a day from your beautiful girls.

I can't relate, but certainly admire your loyalty and committment to raising your girls.

I hope your day went well Linda. I am sure the girls and grandpa all had a wonderful time together.
