Day 8: Emotional Day for Mommy

Perhaps it was shear exhaustion after a busy Saturday, but for some reason today was an emotional one for me.

CC and I stayed in our pjs until 11 or so. We enjoyed a quiet morning hanging out with each other. That included breakfast (well, she didn't eat but I did), playing, "working" on the computer (CC on her laptop and me on my Mac), and a video conference with daddy (no audio though since there were people still sleeping in his "room").

CC and I had a few errands that we needed to get done today. She's making a surprise for her daddy and we had to pick up some items from the store. She's super cute when she talks about the surprise. We met grandma Kathie for lunch and, as always, enjoyed her company.

We were able to talk to daddy several times during the day, something that won't happen as often once he heads overseas. So, we're enjoying every call/video conference we have with him.

We spent the afternoon with the Arana family. It's been a couple of weeks since CC has seen the girls so she was very excited. In fact, when we turned onto one of the streets near their house CC exclaimed, "I'm so excited!" When we arrived, the Arana girls came running upstairs to see CC. I'd say they were really excited to see her, too. As always, the girls played and played and played. Laura fixed us a nice grilled chicken salad that was yummy and she bathed CC so I wouldn't have to when we got home. Thank you for everything. Thanks for letting me get teary-eyed when talking about Z (you know how I hate to cry in front of people)! You guys are great friends and we love you!

As you know, we had the "spring forward" last night. So, I thought it'd be wise to NOT let CC take a nap. That way, she'd be ready to go to bed at the new 7:00. She was tired BUT she was also very cranky. She cried for her milkie the entire way home and was very whiny when we got here. She calmed down once she had her milk and we read stories in her bed. I was only able to read a few before she drifted off to sleep. I'm so thankful to have such a sweet girl! She really is a lot like her daddy! I love you both more than you'll ever know! Hugs and kisses!!
