One Son Is a Talker, The Other Not
My son, Eric, is not a big talker. This came as a complete shock to me since I come from a long line of talkers. It seems like all my friends and family members love to talk (often at the same time).
My older son, Paul, began talking early and often and has basically never stopped. So, when my second son came along I just figured he would speak up, but that was not the case. First of all , I could barely hear him over his older brother’s constant demands for my (waning) attention.
While I had hung on Paul’s every word (and before that, everything resembling a word) I had a hard time really listening to poor little Eric. I am sad to say his needs were constantly unheard. While I would have pulled off the road to nurse my crying first-born it was not uncommon to wake my second son from a much-needed nap in order to do school pick-up.

My husband has taken the kids camping and left me to have a precious twenty-four hours to myself.
It is a gift.
I walked them to the SUV, gave kisses and hugs and waved as the car descended down the hill. Then I opened the gate, skipped down to the house and ran inside.

My wish for the blessed mothers:
Two days in a hotel.
Velvety sheets, gourmet room service.
A stack of books to inspire or distract. Ratio as desired: two trashy, 1 poetry, 1 heartbreaking.
Time to read.
