home alone ...

i can't sleep ... no, i mean i can't go back to sleep after sending off my boys to catch their early flight to Madrid. i suddenly realised i'm home alone ... and for a good many days.

alexander was in high spirits ... quite excited over the idea of finally on his way to visit his aunt in Madrid. he'd been a tease since last night ... asking me over and over again.

"you'll be alone, mommy"
"will you feel lonely without me and Daddy?
"will you miss me, mommy?"
"what will you do when i am away?"
"shall i call to say goodnight before i go to bed?"

getting him to get changed and ready for today's adventure was easy. he shot off like a lit rocket, jumping and chanting: "i'm going to Spain. i'm going to Spain".

the house suddenly felt so empty ... and i need to get sleep. i'm now signing off ... at 4.45am.
