For spring break, my girls went on a Disney cruise with my Mom & stepdad. When Brent and I agreed to let them go a year ago we thought it was a great idea. Wow, did I have second thoughts. Last week was one of the longest weeks of my life! The girls have spent extended periods away from me, but I was always able to talk to them everyday. This was quite different. In nine days, I talked to Carlyle one time. I didn’t talk to Annabelle at all for fear she’d have a complete meltdown. Plus, my sister had warned me about a friend of hers who returned from a cruise last year to a $2000 cell phone bill. We’re a bit concerned about our next cell phone bill.
The girls got home Sunday night. I’m sure I’ve never squeezed them so tightly. I’m so thankful to have them home with me. Tonight, the girls and I are cozying up on the couch to watch Idol Gives Back. As Gandhi so eloquently said, “You can be the change you want to see in this world.”
