1 Down

We are a four-person family this weekend as my parents have taken one of our twins with them on vacation for the weekend. For the record...everything we have done as a family of four has been WAYYYY easier than as a family of five this weekend. I know that sounds calous. In know that sounds strange (if you don't have kids).

Truth is...kids take up soooo much effin energy, and time, and space, and sanity...releasing one to the grandparents on occasion is like Disneyland at home...except for night time. So here we are 10PM and I am missing my 3rd kid. I'm like a druggie who needs a hit every time I pass by her empty bed. I miss her, minus the tantrums about her hair and wardrobe in the morning.

I realize that we get exactly what we can handle...something someone told me a LONGGGGG time ago. I had three children for a reason...b/c I can take 'em. And even though the three of them make me want to scream MOST of the time...still I am here writing about how much I miss my third little asshole (if you're reading this later, Abs...I mean that in the most endearing way:) She is a total pain in my ass. And yet, I miss her still.

I miss my Abs tonight. Sleep tight. Sweet dreams, Angel.
