Mommy - AWOL

Every year I look forward to the Region Volleyball tournament. Tara's gone every night for two weeks and the kids and I get to spend some time together. Even though we're only alone for 4 hours each night, Kennedy and Alex act like they've been abandoned forever.

Mommy?

Where's Mom?

I miss Mommy.

Mommy go?

I really miss Mom.

It goes on and on like this, and Tara's usually only been gone for 30 minutes. Then things start to settle down and we end up having a good time. Ratatouille, popcorn, and being silly on the computer all were parts of tonight's agenda. Maybe I'm not as cools as Tara, but I can still whip up some mean microwaved popcorn.
