In the early morning, I enter each boy's room to give a gentle shake and whisper, "Time to wake up." Then I head back down the stairs to Kelly. She waits at the bottom, on the rug in the sunroom, and lifts her head to look up at me, "Good morning, KellyBelle."
Only it wasn't that way this morning. #2 was sleeping in the guest room, not wanting to be upstairs last night. #1 was nearly falling off his bed. And Kelly wasn't on the rug.
I made it through the school day fine, being away at co-op kept my mind off of her. But once we got back to the house it was lonely. I miss that friendly nuisance.
So today I thank God for a chance to be with other people, for good friends and distractions.
