Anxious

Well, tomorrow is Jeremy's work party. This is something we look forward to mostly because they give out rockin' prizes and the food is great. However, every person that I would have asked to watch Harlee is either going to the party or was going out of town. So this is what I did. I sent my little baby girl out the door with my sisters to visit my mom for the weekend. Considering I get anxiety letting Harlee travel anywhere without me, a 2 hour trip with someone besides me or Jeremy driving has had me in a panic all day. I am such a worrier anyway, but I think this takes the cake. As they put her in our car, (because there was no way I was letting them take her in the Tracker,) and drove off I saw her in the back just playing with her dolly all at ease. I am not ashamed to admit I shed a few tears. As soon as I got in the house I was on the phone with my mom whining to her. She laughed a little but totally understood. She assured me that they would take good care of her, of which I have no doubt. And Harlee loves her Grandma more than me these days (sad) so I know she will have a great time, but I think most of my time will be spent worrying. Maybe we will end up ditching the work party and going to the Festival of trees and The lights at Temple square with my family instead. Then I could be the one driving my baby home. Ah, this is so different than taking her somewhere and leaving her to be tended. I feel so helpless or something. Anyway, I will be letting you all know as soon as she is back, safe in my arms. Until then, I don't feel a peaceful night coming on.

I think she is a little afraid of me but I bet between Michelle and I we could have handled it. Maybe she just needs to visit us more. I also HATED it the first time I was away from my children.

Too funny!!! I remember being that way with Akalia! Remember when you watched her while we went on our honeymoon? Now with Merrick we let anyone and everyone watch him. It's funny how more relaxed you get with the more children you have. The first you'll always be so overprotective of. HAVE FUN OVER THE WEEKEND THOUGH!
Love,
Your cousin.
p.s. If I lived in town still you know you could of counted on me.
