Interlude

I'm sitting on the couch with my work laptop because in a minute, I'm going to work on some interview questions I need for tomorrow.

Greg went downstairs with the girls to play with his new GameCube, but just now, Julia came back up. She sat down next to me and asked if I would get Elmo on my computer.

I told her I was sorry, but that Mommy has to do some work, so I can't get Elmo right now. I asked her if she wanted to watch TV and she said, no, I want to watch you work.

So she's sitting snuggled up next to me, with her head on my shoulder, watching me type.

She's a sweetie.

I give it three minutes, max.

Tick, tick, tick.

OK, she lasted about 1 1/2 minutes. It was still sweet.
