Where’s ‘my’ mommy?

We were reading the book, baby bear, baby bear what do you see?  The last animal in the book is mommy bear.  E skipped right from baby to mommy and asked where her mommy is 🙁  I asked, where’s baby bear’s mommy?  She said no, where’s my mommy.

Tomorrow cannot come and go fast enough.

As we loaded E into the car at grandma’s, Titi asked her what she was supposed to sing to Daddy in the morning.  E began to sing.  And then the tears came.

If it was only possible to just skip the day. 

When we split up our cubs tickets, I specifically picked this day so “we” would be able to go.  Every set of tickets I picked was so that “we” would be able to go together.  More specifically, they were days when Cari didn’t have to work at the restaurant.  I think we only went to 2 together this year.  So tomorrow night I get to watch the struggling cubs without her on a day I wish would end before it started.

I’m just not looking forward to another reminder of what I’m forced to live without.
