Just A Little Thing...

When I went to check the mail today, I found a little package addressed to me from my dad. I was super super excited! I got a package! From my daddy!! Except I couldn't figure out what he could have possibly sent to me, since they're coming to visit in two weeks...

So I shook the package, heard a rattle, and managed to tear it open.

Inside was the bag of M&M's he had taunted me with only a week ago.

I laughed out loud, really really hard!

And then I bawled my eyes out. Uncontrollably. (But I was still laughing a little, too.)

In my silly way, I almost don't want to open them and eat them, because the gift means so much to me.

Sometimes I am excited to have a little Yockeyite, a little sign of the eternal bond of love and commitment that Husband Man and I have... But sometimes I really just want to run home and hug my mommy and my daddy and just be their little girl forever...

So today, among the sunshine and the house I cleaned up and am really proud of, I sat on the couch and bawled (and laughed) over a bag of M&M's.

(I blame it on being pregnant.)
