Counting down the days till both kids start school...
When we made the decision that I would stay home with the kids 6 years ago, I really expected I would be able to accomplish far more... Kids don't let you do anything...
I can sit outside and smoke a cigar, but it will be interrupted... noses will need wiped, bellies need filled, dishes and clothes need washed, floors need constant vacuuming; and when you've completed it all you turn around in astonishment and you wonder, if in fact, you've accomplished anything at all... For the nose - still runny... The belly - still in need of filling... The pile of dishes and laundry - bigger than ever... And whatever you just vacuumed - replaced with something that requires the shampooer be fetched...
It's an exercise in futility... I might as well be working on a perpetual motion machine...
6 days to go and then, I'm sure I'll miss it dearly...
