I spend the whole day with my daughters. The whole day and then the rest of the week. But then that week turns into two, into four, and into a month.
And then a month turns into six weeks.
The whole time I refuse to participate in any conversation other than ones that include the wellbeing of Lia and Livie.
Caden took care of having the bedrooms in our old house redone. When I walk in today, with Livie on my hip and holding Lia by the hand as she walks next to me, I can't even smell the burn anymore.
"Mommy, it's so pretty! Do you see, Mommy? It's so pretty. So pretty."
I laugh and let her hand go as she runs around the house. "Cade, you didn't have to have the floors and everything redone. I thought we agreed on just making the house safe and livable."
He cocks an eyebrow at me and pulls at my ponytail. "That carpet was not livable, believe me."
