I guess the grass really is greener on the other side. I've had crazy days when the boys fought all day long and it was driving me batty. I totally wished someone would take a kid off my hands for a day or two.
My wish has been granted and I miss him soo much. Branson thinks I'm pathetic because I've cried about it a ton already.
I guess I should back up a little. On Christmas day we went up to Brans' parents for dinner and then on to Bear Lake to stay at a condo with the whole extended family for a few days. We had a blast but needed to come home on Sunday night so Branson could go back to work on Monday. The rest of the family was staying til New Year's Day. Branson's sister asked if we could leave Caden to stay with them so their son, Dillon, would have someone to play with.
Of course we said yes, what a fun opportunity for Caden to get a little extra attention and have fun hanging out with the family. We pulled away from the condo Sunday night with only Lana and Brecken in the back and headed up the canyon. That was cry #1, ok it was really the second time. I cried when we decided he could stay. A whole week without my little guy. Yikes.
It's been eerily quiet around here this week. No one for Brecken to run around screaming and shouting with. I just feel so lost without Caden, not to mention bored. I even woke Brecken up from his nap yesterday just because I was feeling lonely. I'm sure this is a good thing for me. Branson keeps asking what I'm going to do when Caden goes to Scout camp for a week. I tell him, Caden will be 12 then, not 4. He's still my little guy!
I'm excited for Friday and getting my boy back.

I totally know how you feel. I miss my kids sometimes after just a few hours. It's sad, I know. But, if you think about it, kids are practically a mother's whole life. We spend every waking moment playing with our kids and taking care of their every need. It's odd not to have that when we are so used to it. Hang in there, just one more day:)
Well, what can I say? We LOVED having him! I am already planning another cousin-camp over-nighter
(don't worry, not until summer)...something to do with sleeping in the tent inside the house, movies, popcorn...the works. I know it was rough on you, but honestly, he was such a delight, I would take him anytime...and hope you'll let me again!
