Have you ever noticed that there is never enough quality time when you need it? What do I mean by this?
Well for example, I am home with the baby all week and have to say that I am loving it! I get to see how her smile changes daily and I get to hear the new sounds she makes when she realises that those hands flying through the air are actually attached to the long things coming off her body. I am so blessed that I have the opportunity to be with her all the time. But sometime I get sad, I get sad for Adam who has to go to work all day and hear about her funny stories from me, I get sad for Adam because by the time he gets home at night she is getting tired and cranky, I get sad for Adam because the weekends fly by just to quickly. I know as a first time mother having to see my little miss grow up this way would be very hard to do.
Weekends just are not long enough, It seems like we look forward to trips home to visit family and friends for weeks, and then the time comes to go and in a blink of an eye the trip is done. Most of the weekend is spent in the car with each other rather than visiting.
I know that quality time is what you make of it, and our family has learned over the past six years of living far away from each other how to make the best of it. But I can still wish for more, I wish that Adam could be with Maddy any time he wanted to and I wish that my family and close friends could magically appear on my doorstep and stay for just an hour if they so wanted.I wish the dishes and laundry would do themselves and the grass would never grow. I realize these things will never happen , but a girl can wish can't she.
