Sleep! Come Back, Sleep...

So if I was with it at all today, I would have a great Tue temptation for you, but I'm not and I don't.  All I have is a longing for sleep. 

• A full night without getting up to check on the darling diva who has been fighting off  a virus all weekend. 
• A full night sleep without worrying about how high the fever is. 
• A night where everything is normal and my sweet girl is hearty and hale.

I'm a worrier.  Especially since DD rarely gets sick.  When she does though she seems to do it large and I have the mommy fears.  But the Dr. and Grandma agree, we are doing everything we can to get her through this, but it feels like, well, not enough.

***psst, how do you know your tired?  Bullet point use gives you a mad thrill!  ;)

Sunday Scribblings - Faith

"You must believe, Je'anna Marie." The Zafting Fulgurate ran a gentle finger down along the tracks of Je'anna's tears.


"I'm trying," she sniffed. "But it gets harder each time you leave."

The helicopter blades whipped overhead sending her hair into a frenzied dance around them both.

"I know it does, but I'm careful and I'm tough. I will return to you, just as I have before."

"But what if you don't, Mama? What if you don't come home?"

"If I don't come back Je' then the powers will move on to you and your Granny Loo will train you further in their use. But have faith in my love. Know that I will do everything in my power to come back to you."
