The Best Feeling in the World

Current mood: loved

Every time I come home from school, I open the door to the house and when I enter Lexi runs to me to give me a hug saying "Mommy, I've missed you!". Arms outstretched. Huge smile on her face. As if that is not enough, Abby stops what she is doing and follows me around crawling her fastest to keep up until I stop to pick her up. One time I didn't see her in the kitchen and walked right by her and she started screaming. Her feelings obviously hurt by the fact that I didn't acknowledge her waiting for me.

I love that feeling - knowing you've been missed by your kids. It's the best feeling in the world! Quite validating, in fact.
