this morning #1414.

this morning, i packed up the small cooler with PBJs, drinks & snacks. got the boy into the car and hit the road nice & early. today was going to be just for us. mother/son time at a spot he’s never been to before. no pot-smoking husband. no smart-mouthed teen. after what those two have put me through over these past three weeks, i need a break from the both of them. family time be damned. as for the boy, while they’ve been misbehavin’, he’s brought me nothing but joy. such a kind kid. unsullied by his surroundings. so far. curious about life. not trying to cut corners. i don’t know where he gets his positive attitude from. not from his dad. that’s for sure. hmm. i guess it’s not from me either.
