I Don't Have A Mommy

One of my mom friends hosted a Christmas gathering last night, and I got home late.  I was so tired this morning, that when I was playing cars on the floor with Zach, my eyes were closing.  Zach caught me a couple of times, and I really struggled to keep them open.

When it happened again, Zach bowed his head in sadness and this is how the conversation went:


Zach:  I don't have a Mommy.

Me:  What???

Zach:  I don't have a Mommy to get up.  (I think he meant that he didn't have a Mommy who was fully awake and present for him.)


Boy, did I feel terribly.  Even though it was a dramatic statement, I was so impressed that Zach could put into words exactly how he felt.  And he was right.  Needless to say, that conversation woke me up!
