I was up early this morning because Beautiful was going into work earlier to make up some time she will miss during our vacation. She hasn’t been at the company long enough to build up the necessary paid time off needed so she is building up her hours where she can. The coffee was ready and I sat at my laptop ready to write something this morning but not having anything to say. There were a couple of ideas in my head but I couldn’t articulate them yet so I sat and stared at the blank screen. Beautiful left for work and the house was quiet and I stared and stared.

After a little while a door opened in the hall and I heard one of the boys shuffling around. My moment of time had passed and I hadn’t even hit keys. After some searching Primo found me on the couch. He has a cold coming on and as he rounded the corner he said “Dad I wanted you to still be in bed so I could lay down with you!” in a sniffily whiny voice. I put the laptop down and said “let’s go buddy” We climbed back in the still warm bed, him on Beautiful’s side and me on my side with only our heads out of the covers. He smiled at me that smile uncontrollable smile that creeps over your face when you right where you wanted to be that moment and I couldn’t help but smile back. we laid there talking about who we were going to see in Georgia and what we were going to do today. I fell back asleep with his hands on my face running his fingers through my beard and he fell back asleep too.

The ideas I have for future posts are still bouncing around unarticulated. I will find voice for them some other time.
