Lonely

Ryan went to a paintball game this weekend. Aurora was crying when she went to bed, "I want Daddy to read me a storybook!" She was a little crankasaurus all afternoon and was simply exhausted from no nap today, so she was sobbing by the time she got to bed. So I called Ryan, and he told her a story over the phone. It seemed to satisfy her, but my heart was breaking. Laura came over this evening and we all ate dinner together. She helped me get the kiddos ready for bed too, but AJ just needed to hear her Daddy's voice. After the kids were settled, Laura and I visited for a while. I am sure going to miss her when she moves to Mesa.
I really don't like it when Ryan is gone for the weekend. I start to feel a tightness in my throat, and I get anxious, and then I get bitchy until he leaves. Ugh. Then I feel all sorry for myself, and I swear Aurora feels it too. I just hope he is safe. I also hope it rains. Is that mean?
On the good side... I just recieved my birthday present from Fed Ex this morning! Its a fantastic new ipod! It has a ton of memory, and I can store photos on it as well. I am so lucky. My little nephew got one for his birthday recently, and I was positively green when I found out. So yay for gadgets!
