A Sigh of Relief

Well today, Sunday, will be the end of my 5-day single parenting run! Thad will finally be home toady from being gone since Tuesday for the NASCAR race in Phoenix and we couldn't be happier that he will be back! I love spending so much time with Berk especially since she is at daycare all day and our weeknights are so short, but single parenting really takes a toll on you! So kudos to all of you single moms who are able to manage that feat! It has been a great 5 days with just me and Berk, but for all of you who know me, you know that my peace of mind has not been totally there and that I could not be more happy to have Thad back so I can quit checking under beds and in closets everytime I come home! (Yes, I really do that and even employed the help of my brother-in-law the other night!) Yesterday we did have a great outing and went up to Lubbock and bought Thad his birthday present, me and Berk new dresses for my sister's rehearsal dinner this Friday and Berk some new bows and headbands and I couldn't believe the amount of people who came up to me and told me what a cute daughter I had! I could only thank them and just look at Berk and be reminded that she is so much more than just "cute" and that her personality and easy-going (albeit sometime stubborn) ways are really the reasons why she is so darn "cute!" I guarantee you that that many people would not have made that comment if we were sitting at our table at Chilis and she was screaming her head off, but instead she sat there in the high chair, ate her food, stared at all the people around her (have I mentioned that she has a staring problem) and was perfectly content to sit there and take in her surroundings while mom ate! (Yes, we were there by ourselves and no, I don't have a problem asking for a table for one and a high chair!) And that is one thing that I hope Thad and I instill in our "cute" daughter is that there are so many other things that make a person what and who they are and many reasons why people fall totally in love with them! SO, that is my preaching for the day! But anyway I don't how much I will post this week but can't wait to see family and friends and old aquaintances this weekend at my sister's wedding! I am sure that Berk will be nothing short of the performer that she is! Oh and there are new pictures on the photo site! Have a great week!
