Friday continued...

So basically on Friday Erika and I just spent the day enjoying each other. She seems as if she has grown 6 months in just this one week. Her sense of humor keeps Peter and I always laughing. In the late afternoon we went on a Target run again for new slippers because she has outgrown her last ones. But Target didn't have the ones I was looking for so we will continue our search. Not an emergency. just a want.

When Peter came home we ordered a pizza. Originally, Peter and I had plans to go see the movie Fireproof at the church but then we cancelled due to both of us not feeling well. So I rented the movie instead and we watched it after Erika went to bed. Of course when we first put her down she didn't seem like she was going to cooperate with going to sleep. That seems to happen almost every time we get a movie! But then within about 5 minutes she settled in and was completely out.The movie that we watched is called Fireproof and it was a totally AWESOME movie. We both truly enjoyed it and will probably purchase it very soon. Truly a great movie. I am getting really bummed out thinking how I won't be spending my days with Erika next week. I am so lucky to have a job that I love because that would make things even more difficult for me. Truly I am only missing 5 hours of her day because most days she goes down for a nap at 12:00 or 12:30 and I drop her off at 7:00. So I tell myself that is only 5 hours of awake time for Erika. I still have her for another 5 hours when we get home after school.

I try to convince myself that it is okay but really it is heartbreaking for me. I always wonder what Erika feels. Does she question why I can't spend every day with her? Boo hoo...I am making myself sad.
