September 7 -- Tonight, Brian had an emergency at work and had to stay really late. So I made dinner for the first time in ages. It was nice to get back in the kitchen (I love to cook) but he had laid out the ingredients for a "special" recipe that he and the kids love. I like it to but I don't like cooking it -- too many steps for a week night dinner. It was Shepherds Pie with mashed potatoes made from scratch but he bought the gravy packets, thank goodness. ANyway, by the time I got it in the oven, I was exhausted and still had work to do. I finished dinner, made my lunch for tomorrow and headed into the office. About an hour or so later, I realized that all the kids had gone to bed. I remembered Riley coming over and giving him a hug and a kiss goodnight but...I didn't remember Tessa. Or Connor. It was all a blur.
And that's a bummer part of this new job. I do miss those little lovies. Although, admittedly, I do see quite a bit of Tessa and Connor at school. In a way, that's nice because when she is in front of others, Tessa is always a joy to be around. (It's just when we are home alone that the other "part" comes out!) The kids have been really good overall -- and every day they make me smile or laugh out loud. ahhhhh. It's all part of life I know. I am blessed to have them, and even luckier, in this economy, to have a steady job. So be it.
