Absence

Alpha’s only been away on business single day so far, and already I nearly brushed my teeth with hair gel this morning. The kids and I surprised ourselves by being ready to go an entire minute early this morning, but then I noticed one cat wanted in (it was quite frosty this morning) so I got back out of the car and let him in, then noticed that we had forgotten a bunch of stuff – Gamma’s glasses, her car seat, her princess fairy costume. Thank cat God.

Have I said I played cello with other real, live adults last night? I am so happy about that…

  1. Be thankful it wasn’t something like using the dogs toothpaste. I’ve come damn close. I’ve also come close to letting the dog use my toothbrush.

    I know, when they’re standing there by the wash basin with those pitiful brown eyes, it’s hard sometimes to say, “use your own damn toothbrush.”

  3. Now THAT’S a picture!
