Desires
Asher is away with his grandmother for a few hours, probably for the first time. I am alone in the house and I’m supposed to be working because I have this little book to edit called Lebanon.
I don’t want to be all thinky, though. I just want to go outside in the coolish morning and sit in the hot tub in the shade. I want to drink shameless morning cocktails all by myself. Or with a shameless friend, who is over 21 and doesn’t call me “mommy.”
I have recently discovered my inner drinker. My children helped me find her; she was locked deep within me and yearning to come out into the sunshine.
I didn’t truly discover the sacrament of coffee until Lucas was a baby. I didn’t truly discover the medicinal use of alcohol until this year.
Call me Mother of the Year.
OK. Back to Lebanon, where everything is peaceful and tolerant.

I’m here for you! I’ve been wanting to connect with you lately.
Got some time for me maybe on Friday?
Stay strong and give me a call if you’re interested in some E-time.
Love you!!!
