Another nice morning with Margaret.
Sorry, no photos again.
As is usual, Margaret and I were sitting on the living room floor playing for a few minutes before I had to go to work.
As the time ticked down to when I had to go, I looked at Margaret and said, "Daddy has to go to work now."
Upon hearing this, she looked up, crawled over to where I was and climbed up onto me, trying to stop me from leaving. She even made kissing sounds.
She must have known that I wouldn't leave if she was attached to me, because she proceeded to stick to me and not get off me for the next ten minutes. She changed her position from standing, to sitting in my lap, to sitting on my leg, back to standing with her arms around my neck, but for about ten minutes, she wouldn't get off of me.
Finally, she must have thought it was safe to get up, because she did so to get at a toy on the couch. Unfortunately, that was my signal to leave for work, and she knew it, because she immediately started screaming as soon as I stood up.
Luckily Daisy chose that moment to come in with the laundry, and after putting on my shoes and another quick hug, folding laundry was enough distraction for M for me to quickly slip out the door.
As the latch clicked shut, I could hear another couple of brief shouts, but they were short lived, thankfully.
It would be another long ride into work this morning.
Even worse, I'm in MA from starting from Saturday to next Saturday for meetings. So no weekend fun for us. So sad.

They sure know how to make it hard for us to leave, don't they?
Will you have time to see Mom?

Call me if you have time! It will be wonderful just to know you're that close. (well, maybe I'll be wishing you had some weekend time available. I'd even bring the white knight down to you for a visit!!) :-)
