My Sad-Mama-Funk Ends TONIGHT!!!

My precious daughter will arrive back home from her 5 day Spring Break trip (with her Girl Scout troop) tonight! I am SO excited!

Now I can stop wandering into her empty bedroom like a sad refugee mom and touching her stuffed animals and being oh so melodramatic and pitiful.

Hubster and I had planned on sending BOTH kids away for a one week camp sponsored by our church this Summer, but (needless to say) I'm REALLY re-thinking that at this point. I think having both kids gone for a full week would send me over the edge.

My friend Jenn told me this is probably "good preparation for when they go to college". (I love Jenn, she's a great friend, but she's not a mom.... all her comment did was make me REALLY sad thinking of that inevitability when BOTH of my kids are out of the house, living their own lives, and the only way I can lure them back on a regular basis is with a home-cooked meal (and considering I'm a Lousy Cook, this will be tough.....)

Regardless, I have my cell phone in my lap and am eagerly awaiting the phone call from my daughter to tell me exactly when she'll be arriving. I really, really, really, really missed her. She's going to have to submit to lot of hugs and kisses when I pick her up, no matter HOW embarrassing that is. :-)
