Lonely Mom, Nice Boys, & Paper Friends


I have been substitute teaching to bring in some extra dough. I have been pretty darn busy the last few weeks, working more than I want to be, but Chris Cringles Closet must be stocked with a few important items, and we need help getting there:)

I get home anywhere from a few minutes to an hour after the boys get off of the bus, and Rider is home with Shylee (online school this year).

I was mentioning how I missed them and thought of them often during the day.

Fisher felt bad that I felt lonely and missed my kids during the day, so he made me a paper friend to take to school with me.

I keep it in my planner and look at it a few times during the day.

This morning as he was leaving for school he turned and asked me if I was going to miss him today. I told him~ "yes, I am going to miss you."

He told me "But mom, you don't have to miss me, you have your paper friend."

I was torn, I wanted to bawl and giggle at the same time.

Why are they so much more well adjusted than me?

I love my girl and boys. I love my paper friend:)

I'm glad you've found something to help stock Santa's closet. Your kids really do love you and I can see why. You are great! Love and miss you.
