\"Here's<\/a>Home. I’m finally home after several weeks of travel. All to see family. All of it good. But I’m glad to be home and in one place again, with time to think and reflect and process the experiences.<\/p>\n

And to do laundry.<\/p>\n

Because our very precocious and gifted almost 4-month-old grandson proved to be very adept at peeing on my lap. By the end of 6 days of snuggles, the little rascal had soaked through his diapers and every pair of pants in my suitcase.<\/p>\n

And that’s saying something.<\/p>\n

Because I’m one of those people who throws in an extra of everything. Just in case. And then an extra extra of everything. Just in case the just in case extra of everything might not be enough.<\/p>\n

And it wasn’t enough.<\/p>\n

Which means I now need to pack an extra extra extra of everything. Just in case. Or\u2013paradigm shift\u2013I could do laundry at the grandson’s house. Why didn’t I think of that before?<\/p>\n

I know why.<\/p>\n

Because I’m too busy thinking about that sweet little boy who found his fists this week, learned to put them in his mouth, who grasped his rattle for the first time, who cooed and smiled at his grammy, and stole her heart.<\/p>\n

And her mind.<\/p>\n

So she paid scant attention to the time or the gleam in his little eye that means, “I’m going to pee now.” Which is why every pair of my pants came home pee-soaked and pee-stained.<\/p>\n

And I came home happy, exhausted, and utterly content.<\/p>\n
