Honest Conversation

Well, I figured now is a good time to post: the kids are in bed, the house is clean, the dishes are washing, and I just had a nice soak in the hottub.  Although all of that relaxing was kind of undone when I came back inside and realized that for the last hour, instead of sleeping like I thought they were when I left them, the two year olds were having a pillow fight.  My favorite part was when they both pretended to be asleep when I walked in.  Never mind the fact that I was watching them throw pillows at each other 5 seconds before.

I was kind of over it — although I did bring her home some flowers, which are still in her room, come to think of it, and probably really wilted.  And if you want to know why I haven’t really been in her room lately, read on)

So, Monday ni...
