Free and Easy

My friend’s blog today reminded me of the upcoming joys of the school year. Fighting with teachers, arguing with bus drivers, homework, making lunches, having to duck and weave when it’s wake up time, etc…

And! The house to myself, playing the music I like, no more of Joshua’s useless chatter just to hear himself talk, no more finding things to fill the day so I don’t feel guilty that he would rather rot in front of his computer all day, I’ll call people back that have waited all summer for a conversation with me. I will shop without whining and tugging and patting and tapping and chattering and kisses on my shoulder constantly.

It is hell to deal with the school year, but it is blissful freedom as well.

Thank you to the person who created a school house for children to go to.
