A whisper on the wind
I am so happy when I am dancing. F asked me the other day if, given my choice, would I spend my whole day dancing, like a summer camp for dance. I did not hesitate at all in replying yes. It makes me a bit wistful. I don't have many regrets with the choices I've made in life, but stopping dancing and giving up on that dream as a possible reality is something I still struggle with every day. As regrets go though, it is pretty low-key - I am overwhelming happy with my life 98% of the time. Still, dancing so much is sometimes a mixed blessing - like any drug, the more you do it, the more you want.

Last night was nice - dinner guests are always awesome, and he brought good yummy bread to boot. Went excellently with the new olive oil I have...ate more than I should've, really! He left before the kids went to bed, which was not expected, but gave me a much needed treat in the form of sleep. And considering that I had got only 3 1/2 hours of that the night before, it was nice indeed! The kids had gone out to the garden after dinner, and came back up with a glowstick each, which to their great delight I let them play with in my room for about 15 minutes. They LOVED it, and really got into it. Ana made different shapes which she would announce, and Eva copied her. (Squares, circles, fans, waves and Cs were amongst them as I recall.) They were pretty good actually! I was impressed. I got them to bed at a slightly-late-but-decent time of 9:20, cleaned up a bit while talking to F, and then passed out blissfully.
This morning I had time to eat breakfast with the kids, throw the clothes in the dryer, fold the clothes that were in the dryer previously, and clean the bathroom. Was pretty pleased about that!
