Fake it 'Til You Make It

Dear Lucy –

I knew it would happen at some point, I just didn’t expect it to be the same day I banged your head against the wall. I’m sorry.

I woke up on the wrong side of the bed and just did not feel like leaving you today (not that I really ever do!). Perhaps it was because, as I explained to you, yesterday was a weird day at work – could it have rolled over a whole day? I told you about my day when I got home. As usual you didn’t say much – I cannot wait until I know what you’re thinking. I explained my whole “fake it until you make it” theory. Sometimes you just have to smile and put one foot infront of the other. That’s what I did today. Eventually someone or something will “make it.” Today it was your dad. He emailed me twice to remind me how much the three of you love me.

I hope your day is going well. I just got this pic from Joanna, so it looks like you guys are welcoming Springtime with open arms…no surprise given that you always have your arms stretched open to the world. Keep it that way, Luce.

 I’m going to the gym tonight, but will be home right after. Defenitely in time to kiss you and put you to sleep. If not, don’t mind that breathtaking woman peaking over the rails of your crib…she’s just gushing over the best work she’s ever done.

I love you,

Mommy
