Emily Goes To Hawaii

Emily left with my family this morning, they are on their way to Hawaii. I opted out of the trip, everyone asks why...you probably do too, but I am content staying here in sunny Central Oregon. I look at it as my own personal 7-day vacation package in recreation paradise, complete with my own bed and a DSL connection...

I went for a bike ride today...without a watch. School is out... I think. I don't have afternoon snack, and that's okay. I will work straight through dinner tonight and it will not cause a problem for anyone. I can clean the house and it might stay that way.

The "mommy vacation package" sounds good on paper but I miss my sweet girl already and feel like part of me is very far away.

I look towards Mother's Day, the day my daughter gets back with all of her fish stories and whale tales.

Hug your kids tonight when you put them to sleep, and...

Aloha!
