Snippet

My mom and Em are at my sister's house so I can study uninterrupted.

I got an email from my mom this morning. Here's the bit that made me choke on my coffee:

I put [Emily] down for a nap yesterday, then couldn't get her to sleep [at night]. It was well after 11. I was pretending to be asleep and she was "cuddling" me (that's a euphamism for climbing on me, I think). She breathed forcibly on my cheek several times, and I started to laugh. She said -- "Oh, did my hot breath wake you up?" I laughed so hard, I couldn't stop. She also started laughing -- all the time we were trying to be quiet because everyone else was asleep.

Ain't she a hoot?!

((sigh)) I miss my kid.
