Off balance...

I feel so off balance not having my husband around this week.  I realize it's only Tuesday, and he's technically only been gone for 48 hours, but it's weird.  The last time he went on a trip, he was gone 10 days.  However, the last time he went on a trip, I only had one mobile child!  E was still napping three times a day, just sitting up, and much easier to keep track of.  Now, I have both girls on the move, destroying the house bit by bit, and being needy needy needy all day long.  I can tell that they know something is off this week too, which would explain the extreme neediness.  I am really looking forward to my mother-in-law coming over this evening to watch them while I go to work.  It sounds terrible, but yay for freedom and time away from my daughters!  Let's also hope L is feeling better and E's cough doesn't get any worse than it is.  *frets*

My heart almost broke yesterday afternoon when I was talking to L.  Knowing that she wasn't feeling well, I asked her what would make her feel better.  She thought about it for a minute and then said "I want to snuggle with my daddy.  Daddy makes me feel better."  Of course she would choose the ONE THING I absolutely couldn't give her.  I felt SO. BAD. and told her she could snuggle with me all she wanted, and Daddy would snuggle her to pieces when he came back this weekend.  Poor kid!

Taking a deep breath and starting another day with the girls...
