Me: Upstairs, working on a deadline.
(Noise from the bottom of the steps.)
Dan: “Declan, where are you going?”
Declan: “I have to go see mommy.”
Dan: “Mommy’s working, sweetie. Want to read this book?”
Declan: “Okay.”
(5-10 minutes later – footsteps up the stairs)
Dan: “Declan… I told you, mommy has to work.”
Declan: “She doesn’t has to work!”
Dan: “She does, honey. Let’s go play with Arrow.”
(3-5 minutes later. Footsteps again.)
Dan: “Dec, sweetie…”
Declan: “I just have to go up here and say hi to my friend.” (Climbs the stairs faster.)
Dan: “Say hi to your friend?”
Declan: “Say hi to my friend Mommy. ”
(Rounds the corner to my desk.)
“Hi mommy. Can I hug and snuggle with you?”
Must I have no heart to get my work done?
This is why I wish we had a coffeeshop with WiFi just an eensy bit closer to home…

Our mutual friend Alicia mentioned you had a blog (and I think we have other friends in common, namely Lis) but mostly I’m unlurking to say, I hear your screams, sister!
Oh, seriously. My friend mommy – what defense is there for weaponry like this? Sakes alive, it’s hard enough and then he pulls out the bazooka, ug! Sorry, mama. Hang in there.
