They're Alive!!

I wrote this blog post last week and just never got around to posting it.  So, here it is....a week late.  :-)
This past week was as crazy as expected.  My business trip went well and I am grateful to be home.  Matt was 100% in charge while I was gone (no help from Nana...or anyone else).  He told me before I left that his goal was to "keep both he and Katie alive."  He is a low expectations kind of guy.

I have to give Matt some serious credit for a job well done being a single daddy.  He made dinner (homemade baked ziti) by himself, researched art projects, and fit in snowman play time.  The picture below shows the rainbow project the two of them completed while I was traveling.  Katie was so proud to show it to me when I got home.  He also managed the whole morning routine of breakfast, getting dressed, packing lunch, and off to preschool.  Two thumbs up Daddy!!!

I missed Matt and Katie so much while I was gone.  Katie's nighttime prayer said it all the other night when I returned.  She said, "Dear God, please bless mommy.  Please keep her safe, healthy, and happy.  Also, please let her stay here with me all day tomorrow.....so we can play together.  Oh yeah, and Daddy too!  Amen." 
Being a full-time working mommy, my guilt really kicks in when I hear prayers like that one.  Especially after the long week of travel I had.  But, we are making this crazy situation work the best we can.  I keep trying to convince myself that Katie is all the better for having an involved mommy, daddy, and nana.  Each of us try to give her our focus during the time we have with her.  I just hope its true.
