i got home from work today, a little later than normal, and when i walked through the door i could hear gillian crying “mama.”  i started to get dinner ready, and i heard the footsteps of daddy and gillian coming upstairs.  all she wanted was her mama.  it is such a wonderful feeling to know that your child missed you during the day and only wanted you to snuggle her when you got home. 

during dinner, kyle said to john, what did you say when we got home.  john replies, “yay, mommy’s not home!”  kyle asked him why he was happy that mommy wasn’t home, and he replied, “so she has to park behind us.”

it’s a good thing that i have two kids, one to want me home and the other to want me to go away.
