Life when Will is away

My Mom and Dad took the Monkey to the Mobile Exploreum today where Will was treated to his first movie. The report: he loved it, whispered “buggie” repeatedly, and fell asleep for the last twenty minutes of the show.

The really exciting part is that Paul and I had a free afternoon! A beautiful, perfect weather, Saturday afternoon… all alone. The possibilities of romance endless, we did what any parenting couple would do: slept.

I read more of “Wicked” (which is turning out to be great) and promptly fell asleep. According to Paul, it was one of those super-deep sleeps that involves heavy snoring… I’m told that I snore pretty decently when pregnant. Poor Paul, who is feeling under the weather anyway, couldn’t sleep with my soundings. (The table is so often turned in this regard that I almost have a hard time feeling badly for him.) Later, I found him asleep a few rooms over, snoring, stretched uncomfortably on the sofa with a puzzle book tucked under an arm.
