It has been a long week.

I alluded to this when I said mom had gone to work before school started.

The short of it is that mom has been out of town all week for training.

She is driving back and forth everyday.

But it has been a tax on everyone.

She is getting up earlier that usual, spending four hours a day in the car, and getting home late.

I am waking you up, getting both of y’all ready for school, picking you up after school, and feeding you dinner.

You kids?

Your love-tanks are empty.

You both miss your mama.

You light up when she gets home.

Not only do you light up, you basically want to have a party when you see her at the end of the day.

This is around bedtime.

And this means we all go to sleep late.

Everyone is exhausted.

Come on Saturday.

I love you.
