back to life...

...back to reality

things are back to normal around here.
yesterday, jay and the boy headed two hours east to catch the aut0train.
baby girl came home this afternoon.
tomorrow, there's a swim party at my mom's for the 8th birthday.

i put up all the photos from my time with jay on the fb00k. it was really a good time.
thursday, his last night, i went over to hang out. his sister and her kids were there. the last time i saw her was 20 years ago yelling at jay to get out of the bathroom. heh..

we sat out on the porch and talked for hours. we drank two bottles of wine and the conversation just flowed.
i think we both said more than we intended but it was so very good just the same.

it was late and we are old - can't stay up like we once could...
his boy had been asleep for hours. jay stripped down to his boxers, i had on my tshirt and panties, and we got in bed with the boy (with jay in the middle).

we woke up with the sun and laughed quietly as the boy snuggled up to his daddy close.
it was hard to leave - felt like there was so much more to say.
but we were going to meet on his way out of town - i was going to be at work and very close to the travel route. i was so looking forward to it..

it was a quick 10 minutes in a parking lot off the interstate.
the boy was happy to see me and we high five'd and blew kisses. jay wrapped his arms around me and we kissed.

it was all very bittersweet.
