Hmmmmm......

What shall I do today?

When you have a clean slate of seven or eight weeks ahead of you, the possibilities seem endless.

Thing is, my mind manages to fill those weeks with far more productivity than my body does. Every summer, I list a million projects in my head that I'm going to get accomplished, and on a good year, I get ...hmmmm...maybe ten finished.

Once, Main Man bought me a kitchen magnet with the saying, "Today, I will not 'should' all over myself."

Today - my first day of holidays - I'm going to take that advice.

Birthday Musings

I took #3 to a birthday party last night.

The demographics involved were interesting. There was one family with a toddler, two families with preschoolers, a grandma who had brought her preschool granddaughter, and me.

Now, even though I have a preschooler, I have other children, of course. Older children. And that's just how I felt. Older.

As #3 happily played with the other kids, I visited with the adults. They all knew each other quite well. Except me. They were all very welcoming and inclusive, but I still felt on a different level. Not a higher level - just a different level.

I felt like I had more in common with the grandmother than the younger parents. Scary...

Freedom

I don't usually do two posts on the same day, but I just had to let everyone know that:

School's .... out for summer!
