vacation and missing my kids

So here I am. 500 miles from home. Have a hotel room all to myself. and I can’t sleep.

I miss David. I am usually awake until around 4am because of him. According to my body it is only 2:30 am. Another hour a half to go before my body gives in and shuts down for the night.

It may seem odd, but I miss his constant banter. The repeating of the same question over and over again until either I get tired of it and give him what he wants, or he gets tired of asking. The latter doesn’t happen very often. I usually have to get him to go to seclusion after the first 15 minutes of the same question.

I feel for my wife and her sister. They are at home, and not used to having to keep an ear out for David at all hours of the night. So I wonder. What is he getting into? Is he stealing Aunt’s keys? or Mom’s cell phone? Is he tormenting the cat?

I miss Cole, Tanner and Kelsey too. Kelsey for her humor. 🙂 Cole for his humor, and love of life. Tanner for his sense of honor, love of history and profound wisdom.

Ah well. Good night David. What ever you are doing, please stop.

Remember, you shouldn’t be on facebook without permission.

Love Dad.

Lies and other fun stuff – life with a klepto part 2

We were up late due to the excitement of fireworks, a fire pit and s’mores.

To bed at 3am and up at 6am. what a joy.

David had my cell phone this morning, so friends, if you received either a text message or an email from my phone this morning, it wasn’t me.

So I am looking for someone to put an electrical outlet into a cabinet so I can plug my phone in at night and lock it up at the same time. Any takers?

I took the phone back. Battery is dead.

A short while later, the door to upstairs magically opened. (It is locked to keep David out of his siblings things.)

So the search began for my keys. I found them. A quick check shows that the key to the door is missing, as well as the keys to the locks. “I don’t know how the key fell off your ring…” David says.

Oh and my cell phone with the dead battery and its charger are missing. Of course, he doesn’t know where they are either. So he gets to be in seclusion until he gives them back.

This is post 3 for the Ultimate Blog Challenge. 🙂 Have a great day!

Oh, and school… 🙂 this is a disability and one of the reasons that he needs a paraprofessional/aide.
