OK, KC is in Florida with her godmother. I/we have been looking forward to this for months. KC gets a fun vacatoin with Aunt Mo and mommy gets a vacation from, well being a mommy! I can go out, see friends I haven't seen in a long time, stay out late, sleep in, buy myself something if I so desire and whatever else I want to do, without feeling guilty because I am not with KC or getting her something! Yee haw!

I have been sleeping late and going to bed early but that has been the extent of my "vacation" from mommyhood. Who would have thought I would miss her so much? Who would have thought that 12 hours between a phone call would send me right into a tailspin? Who thought that this would be a vacation!!! Now the side of me with the common sense is really happy that she is having such a grand time and knows that this is something that she will remember for a lifetime. The other side of me says that she either needs to come home right now or I need to go there. Since I am a poor college student, (and even poorer in the summer), she just needs to come home.

I have no idea why I thought this was going to be a vacation for me nor do I understand why I thought this was going to be a freeing experience for me. The good thing is that she is having a wonderful time and she is doing all sorts of really neat things that she may never get the chance to do again. She is forming an even stronger bond with Aunt Mo and she is exerting some independence.

Oh yeah, and she misses me. :)
