Skip Day

For some unknown reason, everyone but Dad got a skip day yesterday.

I’m serious. I’m not even sure exactly what happened.

  • We have not had a decent vacation in a while – sure.
  • It was a long weekend – yes.
  • And everyone was tired – of course.

All this is true. Great? Great.

So we all woke up late and everyone was having a rough time getting going.

But then breakfast began to drag a little bit, and by the time I was dressed and ready for work, I realized everyone else in the house was still in their pajamas.

Mom was like: “If we girls make it today, we are sure going to be late.”

By 10 AM mom texted me that she had taken the day off and was keeping y’all home. I came home and we all ate lunch together. It was as fantastic as always.

But I get it, sometimes you just need a day – or ten.

Good-grief, I need ten days right now.

I love you.

Made To Laugh

H, forever ago now.

Maybe a month ago?

You said something and I jotted it down and then almost forgot about it.

It made me so happy about life and about you that I am glad I found it.

See, I was snuggling you and tickling you and we were both laughing right before bedtime. You would laugh so hard and just beg me to stop tickling you. As soon as I did you were asking me to tickle you again.

During one breathless reprieve you giggling said:

I was made to laugh.

Ha! Yes, you were. And you light up the room when you do.

I’m so glad I got a front row seat to watch it.

I love you.

-Dad
