“Mommy, you’re here!”
Q has been to a lot of baseball games lately (thanks to the Giants’ successful season), which means I’ve doing dinner/bedtime duty on my own more than usual. He gave me a break last night by picking up the girls and taking them to dinner while I relaxed at home and ran to the mall – but I had to smile when I got a “can you call home” text around 7:15. Zoe, as it turned, out “missed Mama” and wanted me to come home. And when I made it home and walked into her room not long after, she greeted me with a “Mommy, you’re here!” (The little one was waiting for me in her bed, too, telling me when she saw me, “I missed you, Mommy.”)
The girls’ words – perhaps even more so than the mall – was just what I needed to recharge.
