I took an extra day today. Stole one right from under my bosses nose. He made sure to keep me connected, however, with a phone call asking for help every 30 minutes or so. Sometimes, the calls were only 5 minutes apart. I chuckled each time the phone rang. I have to say it makes me feel good to be so needed. But, my baby girl needed me at home today when her tummy wasn't up to par this morning. She is fine, and is really just an upset versus anything viral. Yeah! We have made some good strides this school year by not getting sick at all. Hopefully, we keep pushing our luck and don't catch any of the junk going around.
She was upset about me keeping her home today. We are almost through the first tri-mester, and she has perfect attendance. She wanted to make it all year. But, I am a pretty protective Mom and there was no way I was sending her off if there was a chance she was going to be sick in class. It happened to me once in the fifth grade. It was one of the most embarrassing moments ever. (Not to mention my subcutaneous protrusion :P) Anyway, Firemen may be forgiving, by kids aren't at that age. I was forever known as the girl that barfed up hot dogs in Mrs. Thorns fifth grade class.
Have I mentioned that I am not a big fan of Hot Dogs?
So, tonight, when I got home from my date with "the really nice guy", I had messages from my daughter wanting to come home from her friends house. (Yes, I went on the date cause Rachel seemed just fine all day. She was ok with it, so I did.) I went and got her straight away. She was missing me and just wanted to be home. She hugged me for a good 5 minutes, tightly and with tears trickling down her face, before I tucked her in. I told her how much I loved her...and she would always be, my number one.

Ok..yeah I had a nice time last night. He opened every door for me, didn't sit before me at dinner, and was very complimentary. We went to dinner and a movie (The Walk the Line movie about Johnny Cash and June Carter was awesome by the way) I am trying not to be apprehensive and push away, even though my ingrained survival instincts keep tickling me with their voices, telling me that there must be a catch. (that last sentence sounded way too disturbed. lol)
Rachel is good...just feeling the awkward emotions of a young girl.
Frenzied, it is nice to be needed. It really instills a sense of value.
Thanks!
