Tricia's Diary EntriesDiary Navigation: |

Hello...
I just wanted to share a story that Charles wrote for me while I was at work today, my son is sooooooo cute! :-) Here it is, unedited.
Once a little girl was born. She let out a little scream. My mom was so surprised. My mom had to stay in the hospital for another week. finally she came home with our baby named Sarah Micheal. she is so beautiful. she is 10 months now. The End.

I just get such a kick out of his little stories. :-)
While I'm here I guess I can't resist updating a bit more. Sarah has been obsessed with animals lately. We have a dog named Zac, and she will sit with him and say "Zac" over and over. She also calls our cats "Zac" and any other thing resembling an animal.... oh, and even Power Puff girls are "Zac"!!!!!!! It's too cute! Her day is full of "Zat (what's that?) and Zac"!
I worked this morning, which is always a struggle for me. Sarah and I are just about joined at the hip (or the breast, ha ha)for every minute of our existences except for Sunday mornings, and she doesn't appreciate me leaving! She woke at 4am this morning (my alarm woke her) and crawled around and played while I got ready for work quickly. I then put on my shoes and coat and grabbed her up off the floor and walked into my bedroom. "Chuck" I called to my sleeping hubby , and Sarah promptly looked over at him and waved bye-bye! Poor little thing thought she was going with Mommy. It broke my heart to hear her screaming for me all the way down the stairs. It just kills me to hear that. I have been wondering about the breif (and I do mean breif and rare) instances where we are apart. When I do have to work a Sunday shift, I find myself dreading it for the whoooooooole day on Saturday, and also, for those rare Mom night outs, I mostly don't even feel like going because I will have to leave Sarah. She is such a HUGE part of me, it's almost like we hurt without eachother. Logically , I know it's natural for mother and child to be bonded, but is our case a little too much? Oh, I don't even know what I'm trying to convey here, it's not like I think it IS "too much"....just that sometimes I worry for Sarah, she is just so lost without her Mommy. Anyone else go through this or can relate to what I am trying to say? :-)
Hope everyone is having a great Holiday season.
Love, Tricia + Sarah
