Pardon me whilst I dream...

Of coming home, walking up onto my porch, petting one of the guardian statues, walking into the house, greeting my son and daughter, wishing my babysitter/MIL good night, skipping across hardwood floors to the kitchen, where my husband and I prepare a yummy, healthy dinner, sitting down at our dining room table to eat, tidying up, filling and turning on the rice cooker, lounging on our big comfy couch to watch TV or a movie or indulge in dual-player We Heart Katamari with my son, tucking the kiddos in their own beds in their own rooms, going back downstairs to cool the rice and make onigiri for breakfast for the adults, packing my bento (yes, in my dream, I have a Totoro bento box. I am otaku.), then slipping upstairs to get ready for bed, sliding between our smooth red sheets gracing our queen sized pillowtop bed and burrowing my face in my pillow to sigh deeply and rejoice in the simple fact that I finally have a HOME.

Then I pounce my husband.
