i wish mike wasn't working tonight.
a big handful of hair just came out of mingus' head as i smoothed it while tucking him into bed. i have to stop being so emotional about this, because it's really time that we sit down with him and talk about it, but fuck, he's four! i don't want to make a bigger deal out of it than it is, but it's such an emotional trigger for me, and with my mom ( Read more... ) -
