A west wind, an atom of ocean

Some days are just designed for breakfast burritos and today was just such a day. Bacon, ham, sausage, redways, greenways, hash no hash? Take your pick. I went out to grab one for Eric and me to split. The morning was cool, misty, damp, thanks to recent rains. I felt light and unattached going out by myself; almost like a college student, certainly not like a parent of five.

I like being out while others are still sleeping, there was a quiet camaraderie amongst the few coffeehouse patrons as we clasped warm paper cups full of liquid energy. Chorizo, green, mmm.

I TOTALLY agree with this. With Charlotte, I felt guilty leaving her anywhere. I felt guilty when I left her in the costco line with her dad while I went to fetch the car. Seriously- I had separation anxiety before she knew what it was. But this time around I am MORE than Happy to leave sleeping babies (and more often than not a sleeping husband) alone and run to the store by myself.

Not that it happens often. But when it does- oh bliss!

this is Britt, not joey, duh
