From the mind of the little one

I’m waiting up for Daddy to come home.. I have missed him WAY too much lately and even though I have to work tomorrow I am determined to get some alone time with him tonight.

I skipped a class today.. To those that know me, that is kind of a little shocker! I got up at 6 and went to my first class; Comp II. Composition is so NOT stressful, and I had to hand in my Peer Reviews and go over people’s papers with them. So I felt guilty not going to that one. Especially after my instructor kept me after class last time and talked to me about how “impressed” he was. I didn’t want to make him sorry for saying that.

So, I went. I got to help the lady from Namibia re-do her paper and heard comments on my “Jesus and John Lennon” paper. It went well and I left feeling good about things..

The class I skipped was supposed to come after that – Advanced Coding, ICD-9CM – NOT fun and very stressful. I really needed a break from the awful coding classes that seem to drone on and on and on and on… Anyway, I have been getting 5-6 hours a sleep each night (when I am used to 7-8) and I’ve been doing an average of 6 hours of homework a night. This is in addition to potty training my dog, taking care of my daughter by myself, and running her to dance and preschool and tumbling… I was exhausted. So class got out at 9:30 AM and I came home and climbed back into bed. Daddy was SO happy to see me home unexpectedly and snuggled me to sleep. I woke up shortly before it was time to pick Princess up from daycare, feeling a heck of a lot more rested and happy!

But, sadly that was not enough. A few stolen hours of snuggling and a quick sub lunch just wasn’t enough time with my Daddy. I miss him like crazy and I feel like we never see each other. It doesn’t even feel like we live together when we are on such completely different schedules! And it’s not like we’re in that honeymoon phase where we have the butterflies and need to be together 24/7, but I still have this need that just rips at me if I don’t have enough time with him.

He called me on his lunch break like he always does. I was unfortunetly away from my phone, looking up car reviews. (He’s buying me a new car this weekend!!) So I missed his call. He did leave a message and said that he has “news” for me. Since this “news” popped up while he was at work, I am REALLY hoping (all fingers, toes, and otherwise crossed) that it means he’s getting on a different shift.

Oh please, oh please, oh puleeeeeze!
