Momentarily Quenched

Middle school has not been kind to me. Apart from the logistics and the tactical issues (after and before school activities ending on different times every weekday, getting cancelled with no patchy communication), little miss Haana has decided she's all grown up. She moved out to her own bedroom. Not only does she not sleep with me anymore, she goes to school, comes back and then she's always either busy with homework or some other activity or in her room. I feel like she's not around anymore, even though we stay in the same house and I miss her!

Of course my missing her manifests in random ways including getting irritated with her for all kinds of things including reading books (where is the time for Mumma?!). I try to remind her that I miss her and this weekend we did go out for walks. I felt momentarily quenched. Only for so long though!
