I'm alone

Chris and Alex left me home alone this morning.  They've gone Christmas shopping...presumably for me.  Is that sweet or what?  I watched them pull out out of the driveway.  Alex had his feet up on the dash and then he took them down to recline the seat and then he set it up again.  The two of them were talking and smiling and I felt all warm inside.

I've kept Alex away from men who I've dated.  I've done it quite conscientiously, purposely and purposefully.  I never wanted him to become attached to someone who could become dispensible.  I never wanted someone thinking they could get to me through him.  I never wanted anyone touching him or even looking at him wrong.  Then I met Chris and I never worried about that stuff.  I introduced the two of them rather early in our relationship.  Chris has been to every football game and most of the practices when he wasn't working late.  He plans things for the three of us to do on weekends and the two of them get along wonderfully.  Sometimes too well...they've double-teamed me and think they're cute.  Well, they are, but still...

I'm gonna get my butt in gear.  We have a pretty good day planned.  They'll be back in a couple of hours so I'm alone for now, but never lonely.
