Summertime Blues

I am back from my trip to Italy (best trip ever) and trying to adjust to my new schedule as just a housewife again.  I had fun on my trip, but I missed my children and especially my little Leah Rose so much and was glad to get home.

I find that now that she is not with me I am oddly a lot more efficient with my housework, but there is a sad tinge to it.  Yesterday I went to Central Market for the first time without her and cried most of the way through the store.  I miss reading books and having her sit in my lap.

I have seen her a lot since I got back, in fact, she is sleeping in her room at my house right now, but I have to adjust to a new normal.

I know it is the right thing, however, because she seems so happy that her Momma is home with her.  Allison told me that when she goes in to get her in the morning she says, "Momma home."  That thrills me!

She had her Momma call me yesterday and when we talked she said, "Allah Rose (Leah Rose), Nana hing (Nana sing)."  So I sang her song to her.  Then she wanted the Nana's baby song, and the bath song.  I sang all three and she told me she loves me.  I think she misses me a little, too.

Thank You, God, for this precious gift.

Love,
Clair
