Two weeks ago I left Savannah, GA with an empty backseat. From there, the kids traveled south to FL for two weeks. Two weeks felt like forever two weeks ago. Today I'll fly to FL, spend 6 days juggling family visits, then fly back with Thing 1 and Thing 2 by my side.

I have really missed them. Next time you see me dragging them along, fussing at Luke about his slow motion speed or Lily about her hair in her mouth, stop me and remind me I was pretty lost without them.

I have not missed...sippy cups, car seats, pee on the bathroom floor, extra laundry, battles over Disney vs. Noggin, I'm not tired, crumbs, lost shoes, mystery spills, Dinner is gross, and probably 100 other little things.

But, I have missed them.
