The only serious writing I'm going to get done this morning:

A Family Drama, written especially for Lyric Cole:

The house had been declared an official  disaster zone once the infamous Lyric Cole had spent a solid hour in it. Grandma Nessa was frustrated with the situation, but not necessarily intolerant. She was, after all, the grandmother and (luckily for everybody involved) not the mother.

Go Fish cards had been scattered across the living room floor, under the couches, and well into the kitchen. Tiny, green, army men had fortified the reading nook, and bits of an abandoned PB&J were finding comfort in the cozy spaces between bare toes.

Lyric kept asking whether or not Little Cousin Damon was going to show up that day, claiming there was nothing to do. He needed a playmate. Grandma Nessa had a sneaky suspicion that if Damon had dared to make an appearance, Lyric would have found a way to blame that tornadic mess on him.

Five Minutes After Midnight

I found this little guy wandering around the hospital, looking for a grandma, so I claimed him.

Yes, Apparently, We ARE Lost

So, here I am, looking at my screen wondering where in the heck did this morning's post go? I looked in all the usual places. But it's not in the refrigeratror or the dryer or the shower. (If you were lucky enough to read this morning's post, you'd get that joke.)
Here's my theory: Lyric, my wonderful grandson has somehow deleted my most previous entry while I was in the kitchen cooking up mashed potatoes. I remember I caught him using the laptop around that time. Probably, he thought he was helping me out, just as he was when he was hiding my keys and my book and my glasses this morning. (You'd get that too, if you'd read that post.)
But it's gone, baby, gone, with apparently no hope of returning. I tend to write straight onto the Blogger New Post Page, so it's not like I saved it anywhere else.
It's my own fault. I forgot how helpful seventeen-month-old babies can be.
