Velvet cheeks

It's as though there is a force stronger than my will dragging my eye lids down. I've not felt this sort of exhaustion since Hubba bubba's early weeks. It's two weeks until he is eight months... Today I worked, outside our home that is, work that involved financial remuneration. It is the cause of my weariness tonight. But this is all I have to say about it. Instead I want to cradle my boy as he feeds and stroke his velvet cheek. It is the longest he and I have been apart and we both felt the absence. He by refusing his sleep and me with an edginess that is not my usual demeanor. But not again, well not too soon my little love.
