Mama, get out

Posted on | December 10, 2006 |

Bean spent the weekend with his Daddy in NJ, leaving me to a blissful empty house to finally get some serious writing done. Six hours at a stretch, uniterrupted. Going to bed in the wee hours of morning and sleeping in. Time to actually revise what I write. Oh lordy, it was good.

But man, I missed those two! On the way home tonight, DH called and then put me on speaker phone so I could talk to the little guy. I told him how excited I was to see him and how much I loved him, and DH said he started grinning, and then looked at the phone and in a plaintive voice said, “Mama, get out.”

Needless to say, I kissed every square inch of his face when I got to finally pick him up and snuggle with him tonight.

    Sweet baby boy! What a marvelous solution to get some uninterrupted writing time for you, and absence makes the heart grow fonder, all of that is very true. I hope you enjoyed your sleeping and your waking - and the delicious reunion with your handsome boys!
