He saddled up his horse

Just kidding.  He didn't saddle up his horse. 
But he did leave. 
& i kissed him goodbye with a radiant smile and waved till he was out of sight. 
Just kidding.  i sat on his lap and cried till we were both covered in mascara.   
(You can't win 'em all, can you?) 
After he left i pulled up my socks (except i wasn't wearing any)... and i cleaned my house.  i called all the little ones together and we took turns playing dj, sweeping, tidying, scrubbing and dancing with the baby. 
i had to take off my sweater i got so warm - and pretty soon, i didn't even miss him a bit. 
Except that i did. 
The End.
