Somehow, "You'll start following me tomorrow" turned into Ron asking to follow Caine today, leaving me alone with three younger children and a bleeding new-mama heart, with a side hustle of arousal thanks to Caine's wicked little whispers in my ear, which we are not going into, thank you very much.
I'd dodged the question with all the alacrity of a gazelle under hunt (if said gazelle had four broken legs) and I don't think my blush faded for at least fifteen minutes, but that is not the issue here, okay? Not. The. Issue.
Seriously, my own (kind of) son-slash-younger-brother just ditched me to follow his dad (???) to bring-your-son-to-work day.
The whiplash is real and my thoughts are getting seriously parenthetical. I haven't been a mom long and now it feels like I need to worry about my child's rent and college tuition, before I've even figured out my own…
Note to self: Don't adopt older children, they grow too fast.
