This is Buddy's last year of Middle School. He'll be moving on to the High School next Fall. Sissy will still be at the grade school, but in first grade. Kindergarten is typically not that demanding, but she still has homework.
I think next year will be a lot more demanding for both of them. I'm g. Ilad to say that neither of them are slackers and I had their IQs tested recently. Let's just say that I will NOT take the test myself because I'm sure my score would be much lower than either of theirs.
Anyhoot, when they're in school, I'm free to flit about the house - laundry, dishes, whatever I slacked on over the weekend AND I can shamelessly make up lyrics to existing songs to entertain both myself and the cat. I'm sure I enjoy it more than Bella, but it makes my day more interesting.
If it's just me here, the TV is never on. The only sounds I hear are the fridge making ice and Apple and Lovey (the parakeets) singing or arguing with each other. It's a very Zen existence.
Don't get me wrong - there is always something to do around here. But, it makes my heart all happy knowing that I can get around to it "eventually."
Speaking of "doing", I have several things to do before I pick Sissy up from school. I hope my hooligans have a great day and an even better weekend!
Love,
Kids grow up so fast. It won't be long before Buddy is heading to college and Sissy's in high school ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhen both my kids are in school next year I plan on writing. I don't have a lot of time to do it now but when they both are gone, I plan to settle down in front of the computer.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm working at home there's no sound except what comes in from outside and my fingers on the keyboard. Introverts, unite! :)
