So we are down to three weekends left of the RenFest and I am already feeling a little blue. I have been having a really wonderful time working there and although I am away for most of the weekend it has given me time to "recharge" and I feel as if I am coming home a better mommy. Especially after last week I continually get told that I need "to make sure to take care of myself", this is how I am doing it.
MAC had her Middle School Girls Group (MSGG) this afternoon. It was interesting that when she called to wish my mother a happy birthday she told "Grammy" that she had a really good time at the group. When I asked her about the group, "it was fine". Today there were 4 of them in group and they talked about losing someone close.
We had dinner with my sister and her daughter this evening. We are planning a trip to St. Louis at the end of the month for Grandma's memorial service and we talked about plans and who from the family were planning to make the trip. The girls ate and then ran to the living room to play Monopoly Jr. It was a really nice evening that both of us enjoyed.
I hope that as we look back on this time she won't necessarily remember the fact that I was gone for nine weeks of the fall (although she has enjoyed her days at faire), but that we did make time to play and visit with family and friends.
