I have recently had a lot of time to think. My blessed mother took all three of my precious boys to her house for a “summer adventure.” It has been two whole weeks since I have seen them!
I think they have fared far better than I. Here it has been quiet… and I mean too quiet. Don’t get me wrong it was nice at first but now it is driving me crazy. I miss them terribly.
They on the other hand are having so much fun, they told me they NEVER want to come home. Okay Matthew (my youngest) asked to come home but I think he just misses me rather than our crazy life here in Texas.
So back to thinking, yes thinking. That thing I normally only do in the shower, right before bed and in the middle of the night… well I have had a whole lot more time to just think. It’s actually been kinda fun. But I have been thinking about going to work this year. I guess in the big scheme of things it’s not terribly difficult work… This fall, I will be teaching a room full of 14 little four year olds. I know, sometimes I think I am crazy too. But I am actually looking forward to it!
Last year was the first time all of my boys were in school at the same time. The two days that Matthew was in school I was bored out of my mind! I would work out for hours, spend way too much money on lunching with friends and shopping, not to mention clean my house obsessively. It was not as much fun as I thought it would be.
So here I am. Getting ready to go do something “productive” on the days my boys are in school. Thankfully it pays much better than I ever would have expected.
I just need to know, am I crazy? This is your chance to offer solicited advice!
