Daddy-Less

It's just the girls and me since Bill is in California (until tonight @ midnight) for work. I think it's God's sense of humor to throw things at the "single" parent when the other is on a business trip. My "thing" is a small head cold, which I am the biggest baby about. The girls last night were fed, bathed, pj'd, and read to by 7pm. Mom was in bed by 7:15pm. Bill's "thing" was Emma getting strep throat while I was in China last year. As if watching the kids isn't enough!
Last night I made fish sticks (our favorite when dad is gone...he can't stand them) and tartar sauce, french fries and black beans. Lauren said it was the best dinner I've made...the credit goes to those Gorden fishermen. Tonight is Taco Cabana drive-thru on my way home from work to pick up the kids.
We are knee deep in polly pocket heaven in the living room. I brought out the Barbie house that our neighbor (gladly) gave to us, and I tried to keep the little plastic pieces in a relatively small area by putting down a blanket, but I'm sure I'll be sucking up little 3" high plastic heels in the vacuum. The girls love playing with them and I also find myself picking out a little doll and doing a fashion show as well.
But, we can't wait for daddy to come home!
