Checking In (Willa and Momma)
By: Corrie Date: May 20, 2018, 10:22 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I had known that Willa was struggling a little with the changes
in the family dynamic. Going from being the only child to having
to share attention with three other kids full-time had to be
tough. She and I had talked about it a little bit but something
just tells me that she's in need of some one on one time right
now.
Knocking on her door I peek in. "Willa? It's Momma. May I come
in?"

*Glancing round from the windowseat where i had been curled up,
an open book in my lap showing the intention to be reading but
in reality i had been sat simply staring out the window for the
last half hour lost in my thoughts, i blink a couple times then
call out for momma to come in*

Hearing Willa tell me to come in I go inside her room and go to
sit on her bed, facing where she is on the window seat.
"Hey, Wild Thing," I greet her. Seeing the look on her face that
tells me I've just gotten her out of a daze I ask, "what have
you been thinking about just now?"

*Smiles at momma on hearing her nickname for me*
"Morning Momma! i was just looking at the sunshine and thinking
bout when i was little and we'd pack a picnic, toss it into the
back of the car and just drive to the beach and spend the day
there, not getting home till it was dark, trailing half the
beach back with us! then curling up of the sofa with hot
chocolate telling stories! i loved those days!"

Listening to my daughter I smile and reach over to put my hand
on her knee.
"Would you like to go do that this weekend, baby? Just you and
me?"

"Can we? really?" *Frowns a little* "But we've never been to
the beach here Momma, any of us! It wouldn't be fair to go
without the girls, at least the first time!"

Listening to what my daughter says I answer, "well, I can see
your point. But you seem like you could use some time, just you
and I," I point out. "So, what if we plan a beach day for all of
us and then you and I can do something else, just the two of
us?"

*smiles at Momma when she says we can do the beach as a family
thing then do our own thing another time*
"i'd like that momma"

"Okay, Baby," I answer when my daughter tells me that she would
like to do both. And then I change topics, slightly. "Honey, now
that you've had a little time to get used to everything, how are
you feeling about the girls being here?"

*Glances out the window, not to avoid mommas question but to
gather my thoughts, before looking back at her*
"Honestly Momma? Sometimes i wish things could go back to how
they were before. I liked our life, my school, my friends. But
i like it here too. I like that we have a barn for the horses,
and were not surrounded by other houses and people. i Dont
always like the chaos that comes with having three others in the
house - particularly toni! but.....i do like having another
teen in the house sometimes! And i like it when i wake in the
morning to find that kikis crawled into bed with me during the
night! i guess even tonis ok - when shes sleeping! I do miss
having you to myself momma, but i cant imagine them not being
around now. They need you momma, at least as much as i do.
toni, especially, i think."
*Stands up and goes to sit next to you on the bed, laying my
head against your shoulder*
"I can't imagine losing you. Theyve already had to deal with
that twice. How can i grudge them a share of you?"
