A Case of Missing Mommy....



I came home from work yesterday to Vin with a tired smile on his face. He looked like he had - had one of those days.....and he did.

Unbeknownst to me, Joey had cried for 30 minutes yesterday morning when I left for work. In between the cries and Vin trying to comfort him - was the words "Ma, Ma". I have been dreading this phase.

Joey is my happy go luckily guy and didn't really seem affected by my leaving in the morning. Once in a while there was a little whimper, but then he was off to play trucks or chase Gina around. But now its different, he is now full blown crying when I leave and it breaks my heart. I know its a phase - Gina did it for a while at 18months old and it pasted, as will Joey go through it and it will past. It's one of those time when I hate being a working mom. I want to chuck it all and stay home. But, I know at this stage its not possible. So, I pick myself up and keep on moving.

As I left this morning I took my sweet time getting out the door. I spent extra time with Joey this morning in hopes my leaving the house wouldn't be as tramatic as it was yesterday. I gave them both extra hugs and kisses and headed out. I am not sure yet how it turned out, whether Joe broke down or if he was distracted enough by the Wiggles he didn't realize I left. I will find out tonight. Wish me luck!

Have a great Wednesday!
