Tossing and turning all night. Staying up late playing
scrabble and ploting to
break the law. Sleep started
creeping up and I coerced the kids to move from the couch into the bed. Snickering and laughing with the
lights out. Three kids in a bed for two. They
slept well, I had short
fragments of dreams involving both of them.
Outside a
skyscraper, sharing a small
ledge with Anthony and Selena. He
broke something off the side of the building while playing with it, as often happens with him. He has been
futilely trying to reattach it, I offer to help and am sharply
scolded by Selena for interefering. I try to explain my
good intentions and get a further scolding as he continues to attempt
repairs. The ground smiles below, a far off and
foreign place.
