Hyperborean Wanderer wandered near a phone
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!
