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.

My Dada

My Dada

K, you have started a jealousy in our house.

See, you wait until H is within earshot and you come up and sweetly sit in my lap.

Then you wait and make eye contact with H.

And then you hug me tight and say:

My daddy.

Of course, H is nearly forced to come over and compete.

Soon, both of you are on me. You both hug me and flop around trying to get a better position while arguing:

My daddy.

No, MY daddy.

No! He’s My daddy…

This all began some time ago, back when you would say “My dada.”

Ya’ll are perfect and wonderful. And can fight over me any old time.

My girls.

I love you.

-Dad
