This morning Brody woke up in a TERRIBLE mood. It was so unlike him. He usually wakes up very happy and ready to take on the day. He was upset that he couldn't get his bed made to perfection. After I helped him accomplish this goal, he broke down sobbing. When I finally got him to talk to me he explained his tears.
"Why did Daddy have to go back to work today? I really miss him!!!" (said in between sniffs and sobs)
Suddenly it all made sense. He's going thru withdrawals. For the past 9 days Daddy hasn't had to go to work. We've all been together as a family and have had lots of other friends and family surrounding us 24/7 (I guess 24/9 would be more accurate! lol). Suddenly it's just Mommy, Brody, and Barrett. Brody was so upset that he didn't even want to call Daddy...he didn't think he'd be able to stop crying to talk to him. He finally calmed down as we got in the car and headed to work. Brody asked to call Mike and he told Daddy how excited he was for him to get home and told him how much he misses him. I miss him too! It's hard getting back to "normal" life after vacation!

That's so sad! It's very cute how much he loves his daddy!
Aww! We know how you feel! Scott went back to nights on Monday after working 14 days on days. We miss having him home every night!
Heaven would be where you get to spend all eternity with all the ones you love....I miss all my family when they are gone, too, Brody....and McKenna especially misses you!
That is so sweet that Brody enjoyed Mike's company that much that he was having withdrawls! That is a memory to cherish!
