Day 141 - driving away

As I drove away the girls ran after my car, waving and yelling their goodbyes.  Caroline was holding back tears, I could tell.  That made me want to turn around but I didn't.  I never leave yet I felt like a bad mommy as I was driving away.

The last time I left over night was about one year ago.  I was going to the same place, Capitola, with Sherri.  We started this tradition last year and decided that we'd do this every year.   She's a special friend and we live so very far from each other.  I used to talk to her every day but this year homeschooling has left me with little phone time and not much friend time.  I was really looking forward to catching up with my dear friend.

Later, when I arrived in Capitola, I called home and Ken told me that Caroline cried for a long, long time.  It broke my heart.

This answered my question on your other post.
What a nice way to get away! Just like you I also like calling home after I leave but I know I should not. Tim does not tell me the bad news until we're together again - which is good and bad. :)
