Miss you.

I’ve missed you too.

OMG, I’m exhausted…those kids wear you down.

I hope you had fun?

It was the best time.

Marc messaged me and said that Ben came home raving about how awesome you are and that Marc should make you come on all the trips.

Awww, that’s so sweet.

How’s your stuff going?

We’re finally making some progress, but we still have a slog to get through.

Yay for progress?

Absolutely, yes.

How was dinner?

I was really tired when I got home.

And?

Sticky too, so I headed for the shower immediately.

Okay?

By the time I was done, I was going to go downstairs…

Then what happened?

I took a little nap and missed dinner.

You can’t spend all day taking care of kids in the heat and then come home without eating. I’m sending you some takeout. It’ll be there in about twenty minutes.

You don’t have to do that.

I’m aware. I want to.

Thanks…

…

Thanks, Daddy.

You’re welcome, sweetheart.

Good morning, sweetheart.

Are you an early riser?

Yep. Is it annoying?

I don’t know how to answer that.
