I miss my baby!

Our house is so quiet! Alyssa is at Cindy's this week. She is going to camp with Leigh and I have had good reports. The only thing that bothers me is Alyssa doesn't want to talk to me. She said that if she talks to me, then she will miss me and she is having too much fun! So, I called last night and told Cindy to let the machine pick up and left a message. That way, when Cindy played it, Alyssa would be able to hear it.

I am so amazed at the change in Alyssa. She is most often respectful, responsible, and fun to be around! Sure she slips up, but she immediately is remorseful! I call that progress - I call that healing!

Our house is so empty without Alyssa! I know in my heart that it is healthy for all of us to have time apart, but my heart is screaming that she ain't ever leaving for a week again!!!
