When Momma's away...

I spent the weekend in word-nerd heaven.  I was at a local writing festival completely focused on my book project.  While two days talking about plot and scenes equate to heaven for me, for the Dad and the girls it meant an entire weekend without motherly supervision.  The details of their weekend are still a little vague, but here's what went down..near as I can tell:  

Baths:  Didn't happen.

Meals:  Happened but were dominated by meat by-products...bacon, hotdogs, sausages and processed cheeses.  I don't believe anything fresh or green was included.

Snacks:  I found a pile of cracked peanut shells in the back yard.  Either a elephant paid us a visit or the girls snacked in the yard on roasted nuts.

Hair:  Not brushed.

Teeth:  Ditto.

Hands and Nails:  Filthy.

Television:  Well, both girls now understand the value of a double play, chant "Let's go Giants" and express surprise that Memphis is in the finals.  Think they watched some sports? 

Frankly, I could care less.  I came home to happy kids and a relatively decent house.  That's all I hoped for.  I had a wonderful time reengaging with my manuscript and for some reason, the Dad is already asleep on the couch.
