Maybe I am yearning for another child (the baby crazies come and go), or maybe Evelyn is at a particularly trying and adorable time in her life, but lately, more than ever before, I miss her when we are apart.
I miss her a lot when she goes to her grandma's house for a night.
I miss her terribly, to the point I want to lay in her bed just for a little bit, if she is gone two nights.
Three nights is just ridiculous.
I even miss her right now, middle of the afternoon, just because she is at daycare and I am at work.
When she goes to sleep, sometimes, just a little, I miss her then, too.
What is becoming of me?! Evelyn is so exhausting when we are together. Maybe it is guilt that I'm not "100% super mom" when we are together? Or that after two hours together between post-daycare pick-up and her nightly bath I am so overwhelmed with noise and mess and chasing and giggling that I look back when we are apart and only remember the serene happiness?
I don't know. But this longing for my child I saw five hours ago, and will see in four more hours, is a little silly.
But I miss her. Because she tells me my songs are beautiful, and likes to dance around in cicrcles until she falls, or makes up stories about Princess Evelyn and Princess Mommy flying through the kingdom before going home to take a bath. I mean, seriously. How awesome is that? So awesome.
See you soon, little one.

Ok so you are not silly. Because as you would say that girl is "cuter than poop on a stick". Missing her means you love her more than she drives you nuts....On another topic. Atkins sounds seriously so hard to keep up with the math while trying to stay on top of life. THought about green smoothies? You can look up recipes online but the usually consist of fruits mixed with greens. Don't know if it will work but maybe it will help get those veggies in.
