Lonely

The last few days have been a little quiet around here and that makes for lonely times and slow days. On Thursday I had a busy day filled with a doctor's appointment and a hosting a bridal shower. My mom came to my appointment with me and I left my kids with a sitter ( so nice) and when we got home my mom offered to take both of the boys overnight! YEAH! Jason's cousin is getting married and so I was helping to host her bridal shower and I was pretty excited to have the kids occupied while I worked on getting all the food and preparations done. So off they went to Nana's house. The shower went great and we had all sorts of great food. But when the party was over I realized I didn't have any kids to tuck into bed. It was kind of sad. So I went to bed a little on the lonely side because the house was so quiet.
Then next morning when I woke up again I noticed the emptiness of the house. There was no "mom, I woked up" or "good morning mom" to start my day, and it was harder to get out of bed than it usually is. My mom was planning on taking Dyson to the Circus later that night so she was just going to drop Ridge off on her way to Salt Lake, so I had the whole day to myself. Usually this would be such a welcome break, but for some reason it made me feel super lonely. I am trying to pass the time until Jas gets here and not having the boys to occupy me made for a REALLY long day. I was so happy to have Ridge returned to me that evening. We read books, and snuggled and had treats. It was so much fun.
I can't wait for Jason to get here. He flys in Sunday (tomorrow) around 8:00pm. I have lots to do today to keep me busy, thank goodness. And then I just have to get through church and dinner. I warned Jason that I would probably embarass him at the airport with my blubbering scene I'm sure to make, but oh well. That's what he gets for marrying a bawl baby.
I am so grateful for the wonderful kids that I have. I know every mom is partial to their own kids and I am no different. I think they are the best. It was good to miss them but it was even better to have them home.
