What she usually looks like.

One of the perks of this job is seeing family and friends all over this country. One of the downsides is not seeing your children everyday or week or in some instances every month. This week has been a rough one. My daughter had her wisdom teeth pulled and I wasn’t able to be with her. Now I asked her if she wanted me to come home and she of course said no, she’d be fine. Her boyfriend Scott was going to take care of her and Scott’s mom (Shawn)  would be helping too. So what did I do. I listened to my daughter. LOL What was I thinking. I knew I would regret not being there but people keep telling me I have to let go. It’s time for her to be on her own….. blah blah blah. Well you know what. I do have to let go but that is my baby and I would and always will do anything I can for her and Tyler. That’s what being a mom is. I should have been there. Scott and Shawn have been there for Shelby and I am so grateful!!! I just wish I was there too. There is nothing like getting that phone call and your baby is crying from the pain and being sick and there isn’t a thing I can do but tell her how much I love her. I am so proud of the woman she is becoming. I am proud to be her mom but I’m not sure I will ever let her go LOL. Just letting you know Miss Shelby. I love you to bits and am so sorry you are having such a hard time but always know how proud of you I am and how loved you are. I love you THIS much. So does Tyler and Craig and Max and Bella and Lil Bit.
