It kills you to see them grow up.  But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't.

Do you miss your Mommy?

Today Daddy took the boys to Universal Islands of Adventure. Later they are supposed to be staying over night with my in-laws. I haven't heard from them yet, so everything must be going OK.

I got to do some shopping, and it was great today. A Gap employee has restored my faith in American retail employees. He searched the entire store for something, held open the bathroom door for my daughter, and looked all around the store for me when I left my sunglasses in the change room - what a guy!

But I miss my boys. I know it has only been about 8 hours, but I miss them. The world seems so quiet, and I have this weird sort of freedom. Except that I have forgotten what it is like to do what I want.

I used to be incredibly decisive. Today I couldn't even decide what I wanted to eat for lunch (the good news is that I just ate Daughter's as she changed her mind.) Actually, it worked out well because it turns out she didn't want the pizza for dinner either, so I had two meals that I didn't have to think about.

A break from the kids is nice. I can relax and be myself again, and appreciate the kids for who they are. I hope the boys miss me, too.
