Can’t Do It
We had a ‘test run’ so to speak of her returning to school as she had to be on campus for testing. The house felt so empty even though I wasn’t alone. While I’m looking forward to in-school classes again, I will miss her fiercely.
School Call
This school year has been the most interesting. Having my child never leave her room and attend all of her classes each day is incredible. I think we are both ready for school to be back in person. It’s nice to know that remote learning is possible but the experience of school – well there is just nothing like it.
Weekend Plans
We live such exciting lives. Someone asked this week what was our weekend plans. Our plans are always the same – do as little as possible. It’s not a great plan and certainly not exciting. Some day we will make plans again.
Eat That Frog
There was a poster I had when I was a teenager that had an ugly toad on it sitting on a plate with the words, “Eat a live toad in the morning, and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.” I feel this phrase has been recently transformed to ‘Eat that frog’ that means to do that one thing that you dread – then it will be behind you, and the day will just get better.
I do enjoy getting the most unpleasant to-do list item done first. But sometimes I feel too accomplished with myself and then ignore the other items. I mean I already did the top priority. I should celebrate and goof off the rest of the day.
Yeah, I don’t recommend this attitude.
Cat Dream
I know they understand us and are just refusing to comply.
