Today I'm sad.
And I mean really, really sad.
Why? Because it's Thursday, and I last saw my kids on Sunday morning.
I'm in St. Petersburg, Fla., at a business training seminar. Before I go any further, I do have to say this: It is quite sunny and warm and pleasantly breezy. High today: 74 degrees.
My sincerest apologies if it's cold where you are. I'll be back soon to join you.
Yeah, I knew I would miss my kids. Of course I would. I feel silly just typing the words.
And I knew I'd truck along just fine for a while, missing them but being fascinated by what I'm doing and the freakin' awesome place I'm in.
But it finally hit me this morning how much better it is to wake up to a warm, tousled-hair 5-year-old and a grinning, snuggly 14-month-old.
And I almost can't function.
Remember the feeling in high school when you couldn't get your new boyfriend (or girlfriend) out of your mind? How you thought about that person nonstop and in vivid detail?
That's been me today. And I'm so introspective and mopey that I'm nearly anti-social.
I wanna go home!
