How funny you should say that - I just said the exact same thing to someone. We got the circus this weekend, and seeing about 25 of my extended family - some coming from different states even, so it'll be a blast. They all love me to pieces too, so it is such a boost to be around them!
Just to make things confusing - W called me this morning. As usual, I let it go to voice mail. But she gave me this long update on the kids - how they were feeling, how she called the school to see what was going on, how she might keep them home one more day, and so on. I can't recall a single time she's ever called me to update me on their status during "her time".
