Missing You

Dear Riley,

The past few days have been a little crazy. I got a call from Pizza Hut asking if I was still interested in a job with them. We definitely need the money so even though I hated the thought of not being with you all the time anymore I knew I needed to take the opportunity. Jobs are hard to come by at the moment. So I went in for an interview yesterday and then had orientation that night and started the job today. I only worked for 3 1/2 hours but it killed me be away from you. I couldn't wait until you and Daddy came to pick me up. I also went shopping for work clothes with Grandma Trina. And you really needed a nap so you had to stay home with Uncle Jacob watching you (you said Jacob and spider today!) until Daddy got off work. So I also missed out on a couple hours of spending time with you. But you slept the whole time so I wouldn't have seen you anyway. So now I am home with you and you are sitting on my lap while I type this. You haven't left my side for a second which makes me happy. You missed me too! This morning when I was doing the dishes you were vacuuming in the kitchen with me and I kept sneezing. So you took off into the living room and grabbed the tissues and brought them to me. You handed them to me and just went back to your vacuuming. You're so smart! You knew exactly what I needed :-) Okay now that I told you whats been happening I need to get off here and cuddle you while I can.

I love you, Mommy
