an LJ comic strip I enjoy. Often funny. Frequently sarcastic. Just to take the edge off all the serious crap on the radar. Scroll back to 10/06 for the Scooby Doo spoof
beatonnaLast night I had a slice of heaven.
Daddy picked the kids up from school and they beat me home. I can't even remember the last time that happened. I got home from the dentist to hugs and kisses from all and he was starting dinner. I plopped down to watch him putter in the kitchen. I think I had the biggest smile on my face all night. The kids flanked me with their homework at the kitchen bar-top and I spread my attention between them and daddy. I kept bouncing up and running over to hug F. He was a little nervous - couldn't figure out why I was so giddy and huggy, asking me what was up and being suspiscious (maybe I had a new credit card purchase to spring on him? a plan to clean the garage? an overbooked weekend to spring on him? he was waiting for the other shoe to drop). I just told him I was happy to have him home before bed-time. We had homework done in time to eat together and then we all piled on the sofa to watch TV. Miss E zonked out on Daddy's chest while Super N used me as a back-rest and laughed with us through a TV program. They went to bed and then we snuggled without the kids squeezing in between us.
It was amazing. I think this is how everyone else lives. I want more of that.
tonight? well, it's 10pm and he hasn't called yet. That tells me he's doing his nightly conference call from the office (which is 70+ miles from home) and he'll call right before he heads home. sigh.
I'll just close my eyes and relive last night.
