my sentiments exactly

This is pretty much exactly how I feel right now (except that if I wake up the kidlet, I'll be in an even worse situation). Also, this is how I imagine everyone sitting around the table tomorrow evening would react.

Cardo just reminded me that this is almost over. I just reminded him that I still have to get through it before it ends, though.

I'll just keep thinking about long walks in the park, browsing the library for hours for books to read FOR FREAKING FUN, spending ten whole minutes with my child without saying, 'Okay, Mamma has to go read now.'

In unrelated non-news, Pic and I took Cardo to Mimi's for lunch yesterday for his birthday. He chose the place. He says that he's going to take us out for breakfast this week (on his actual birthday). When I asked Pic earlier where we should go for Papi's birthday breakfast, she told me, 'I want to go on the airplane and go far away and eat breakfast in the castle with the princesses.' Keep dreaming big, kiddo.
