I have had a productive few days. Cleaning, creating, thinking about stuff. It's been wonderful and I feel very rested and ready to resume the full-on rush of childrenness in my life that will begin again as of Wednesday night or Thursday morning....

weirdness

It is so weird to wake up on a Monday morning after having had no children all weekend, and not have children tumbling in from their weekend with papa. The house is quiet and kind of lonely. I have been filling my time with people, though. One a...

Summer Camp, Benign Neglect, Big Boys

2007-06-11T14:50:35Z

Not the punk band, either. I sent M off to summer camp today with the carpool, which is graciously covering my carless ass for today and tomorrow to ensure M gets there and back without trouble. It's a day camp, so it's not like I'm sending him o...

I am not sure how obvious this is to people who have read about my children, but my six year old is kind of...special. In a number of ways. I am still trying to figure out if this is something that will help or hinder him in later life, but it is ...
