After running out of ways to stall, I finally went home. Home was still empty. And I was still sad. After a while, I realized that as much as I appreciate the few moments of silence that I am rarely able to get, home is not the same without M. flirting with me and P. terrorizing the cat. (Moment of Truth) While waiting for them to come home, I laid across the bed pitifully watching t.v. and dozed off until I heard the alarm chimes of the front door being opened. I sprang right up. (Moment of Anticipation) It only took a couple of seconds for the splendidly sad bliss of unenjoyed silence to be broken by the sound of P's voice.
Finally.
It was simply The Moment that I had been waiting for.
And this was the face that I waited all day to see:
Silence is overrated anyway. =)
the pieces:
Cardigan - Gap (also worn earlier this week)
Dress - Ross (Summer 2010)
Orange Tank - The Limited Seamless Tank
Orange Tank - The Limited Seamless Tank
Sandals - Steve Madden, Macy's (Summer Clearance, 2010)
The color of this maxi makes it such a winner. I love silence but sometimes a little noise just makes it feel better.
ReplyDeleteAww what a sweet post that shows how much you love your sweet family! That's what happens when we become moms, right? Today, I'm home with my sick boy (throwing up), so I sent the baby off to daycare thinking it would make things easier... Really, I'm just missing her like crazy and think I'll go pick her up early this afternoon.
