Kissy break

Category: Just Me

With a freelance writing career and a direct marketing business, I'm on the computer most of the day. Add to that my position as VP of a charter school board, and the school's web mom, well I might as well get one of those *Borg implants and plug myself directly into my PC.

So unlike those children in the past who looked for mom in the laundry room or kitchen, my kids come to my computer when they're looking for me. And even if Nana is visiting or daddy is home, they like to check in with me on occasion.

Nathan usually interrupts me with a question like, "What are we going to do today?" But Lucie is more subtle. She comes up with a kiss and a hug, then turns on the TV, puts in a video, and crawls into my bed. I'm not so thrilled about the distracting racket from the television, but the kissy break sure is nice.
