I am waiting for Matt to shower and dress ..then we are going out to dinner.



I miss Erin and I want to kiss Gina's little nose so bad!

I am waiting for him here at my desk. Checking emails, looking at facebook, watching the nightly news, and comparing little boys and girls in this horrible Haiti footage to MY two little girls ...who are at this moment playing with Grandma and Grandpa -- probably Old Maid.

Giggling, no dust in their hair, socks on their footsies, a knowing that Mommy and Daddy will come get them soon, cute pajamas, full bellies, snacks within arms reach... I am so happy for those two. I am so sad for these others.

God, hold on to these little kids. Give them strength, comfort. Don't let their joy be doused forever. And thank you for my two kids.

Distracted

I want some salty/greasy food, and strawberry jelly, coffee, seconds all around. Then I want a burger with cheese and mustard and ketchup...french fries with ranch dressing and fizzy drinks. Later a pizza...a really thick deep dish with hot tomato sauce oozing all over the place under really yummy cheese layer.

Anyone?

Anyone?

Follow all that up with some icecream, medley of sauces, whip cream, and a banana sliced in two propped up in a really huge bowl. And if you leave off the cherry I'm really gonna be P.Oed!
