:: realized something while i played and explored in grampy and grammy’s river with my littles today…
i don’t play and explore enough with my littles!!!
:: in 43 days…my honey’s taking me away for 5 (alone) days!
something we haven’t done in over 7,665 days! (just a wee bit excited!!!)
i think i need my kiddos to whip me up one of their fabulous “only this many more sleeps until…” paper chains today…
dear honey,
guess what i saw today…
a duster!
‘member that one first date…
when you patted that bench seat right next to you…
and invited me to scooch right close?
i miss that bench seat…
very sincerely,
me

one!
dear mama to the west,
someone else was inexplicably drawn by happy squeals…
someone else…longing to join in…tentatively set out…
someone else…dreaming big, summery dreams…
only to be stopped…
just short…
…by that big fence!
oh, these poor pathetic children!
so, so close…
and yet…so…so…far!
very sincerely,
me
birthday…

dear honey,
heading out today, you paused at the door…your one hand grasping your laptop, the other fishing for keys in the drawer…
and you did a lil’ wiggley-jig with your leg!
incredulous, i inquired…“what are you doing?!?”
unabashed, you replied…“checking to see if my wallet’s in my pocket.”
you…like no one else!
very sincerely,
me

dear honey,
i was disappointed in me today.
so i sought you out…you focused on work at your desk…
and i leaned right into you…
and i rested my head on yours…
and i just…was…for a minute.
and then you whispered…“i like you.”
and it was the very best thing you could’ve said…
and it was the very best moment of my day…
and, oh…how so very much…i like you too!
very sincerely,
me
