I am currently at my in-laws house. With the commitments of everyone, this was the plan that worked best. I got here this evening and will bring them back tomorrow. I am excited that we are all going to get to spend the week together.
However, this is not where I want to be. This is the first night of our two weeks off for break. I love, absolutely love this day, and I'll be honest, I would much rather be home with my kids. I understand though, that this is where I need to be tonight.
At the same time, I just learned some information that brings me tears. Thomas texted me to let me know that he is swimming the 500m free race tomorrow. I will forever remember Catherine's first 500m race, and how Thomas was right there to check on her. I remember Robert's first 500m race, and how he nearly collapsed when he was done. Tomorrow's meet is away, and Andrew and I don't do away meets. I am terrified that something is going to happen. I am afraid that he won't be able to finish and will be upset, and we aren't going to be there for him. It breaks my heart that I can't be there.
Honestly, nearly everything involving my younger two kids breaks my heart these days. I am just so grateful to be their parent, and I can't believe how quickly the time is passing.
