When Are You Leaving?

With the exception of this past Christmas, I haven't seen Miss M so excited.  One time per month I go away for several days for work related business.  Today I said to Miss M, "Well sweets, I have to go away for a few days and I miss you already."  Without any hesitation, a big smile appeared on her cute face.  She asked, "When are you leaving?"  I sensed that she already missed me too.  However, as usual, Dad was wrong.

I answered Miss M with, "I leave in a few days and will be back next week."  You would have thought I just bought her tickets to see Hannah Montana.  She started dancing around and screaming, "Yea, Yea, Yea!"

I was shocked.  I inquired, "What are you so happy about?"  She tells me that while I'm away, she gets to sleep with Mrs. HOH. 

Mrs. HOH and I have made it a habit not to allow the girls to make it a habit to join us in bed on a regular basis.  They will occasionally join us and those are some long nights.  I find it amazing how two little girls can push me to the edge of a California King bed.

I can only hope she's equally excited to see me when I get back home.
