I really do love today. I got the chance to spend these past few hours with my girls, and it was glorious. Jessicaaaaa, My Favorite Canadian, MoDawg, Lil' Newton, and Trish are all in town for the break. We decided that a Chinese food extravaganza was in order (Chinese food is a pretty big deal in these parts) for the evening. I seriously almost peed my pants when Trish's car showed up in my driveway. I hadn't seen her since she surprised me that one day at Hogwarts. Oh, it was so wonderful. You have no idea how much I missed them all. It was so good to talk and laugh and eat Asian Crispy Rolls with them. I think that was exactly what I needed. It was so hard when Lil' Newton and I had to leave the rest of them-why on Earth did I have to say goodbye? I just want to be with them all forever.
The real tears started when Lil' Newton and I got out to the parking lot. I hadn't seen her since August. I wish I had gotten to hear more about her fabulous college life. We spent the whole time talking about all my issues. She is such a gem. I took every opportunity to pick her up and spin her around. I hate that she had to leave. I cried for a long while afterwards-I don't think I realized the full extent of how much I missed them all.
Three more weeks until they're home again. Let the countdown commence.
How exciting that you get to see them again in 3 weeks. I vote our whole year should be broken up like this. :-)
