a place to put random discourses on life
Hyperborean Wanderer wandered near a phone
Published on November 3, 2006 By lifehappens In Blogging
As you may have guessed by the title....Matt called! I have such a happy glow. **BIG GRIN**

I saw the phone ring and flash "Private Name and Number", but being the good Army wife, I answered it to find....a bit of happy!

Connor and Madeline were just getting into bed and I let them stay up a minute to talk to their dad. Unfortunately, he asked me to call back so I wouldn't use the minutes up on the borrowed phone (THANKS AMSTUTZ!) But when I called back, I got a foriegn message followed by "The phone you have reached is not avalible at this time..."

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Fortunately, he called back. Since it was an hour and a half after their bedtime, I had just told the the kids to bed and we talked for a bit. Nothing I didn't expect to hear. I asked him if he wanted to say hi to his *very* sleepy kids. With speakerphone on, I headed into thier room....

Connor said, "hi dad. I'm tired. I love you. Goodnight." and was promptly out again.

Maddy heard his voice, sat up long enough to say, "Hi dada. I go ni-ni (night night)" She popped her cork in and laid down almost before I coudl get the phone away from her ear.

Poor kids. Matt obviously enjoyed hearing their voices but they may have been so sleepy they won't remember it!

I'm happy. I was content before. I was at peace with myself and how my life is today. But hearing his voice made today a fantastic day!

How wonderful that you've heard from him already. I can almost see your glow all the way over here

Sorry the kids *sort of* missed it. But I'll bet HW soaked it all in! Hmm, I wonder if he'll be wandering near JoeUser in the near future. Man, can he tell some good stories.

I've begged him to get back on the joe bandwagon and he usually picks it up when he is deployed, so keep checking back for the hard road....

I asked them this morning if they remembered who called last night. My son jumped up and yelled, "DAD!! And I got to talk to him too!" so I guess that in his head the conversation was longer than in reality!
