Blogging withdrawal... must... update
- at a loss for what to do with myself and the Kinglet now that we are out of school mode once more. It requires a whole-being shift to go from "OMG I must write as much as I possibly can while he's gone" to "Oh crap, I have to account for your every moment now, don't I."
At the moment, my heart's not even in the whole "schedule your eyes out" thing, since it had mixed results before and it's going to be impossible to keep the schedule consistent anyway. We have two and a half normal weeks ahead of us. Then we're taking a family vacation, so the schedule will fly out the window, and then I imagine the last week will be odd with preparation for kindergarten. So part of me is like, why not just be organic about this? Is he going to be any more or less of what he is in two and half weeks?
- in related news, 27 days until school starts. 20 days until I have to start waking up at 6:30 in the morning.
- We had a playdate yesterday with a woman I have known for a long time, but peripherally. She has three sons now, one of whom has ODD as well as some other issues. I contacted her to learn about some local resources and she was kind enough to invite us over for an afternoon. The Kinglet had a lot of fun but also slipped into his defiance act. I was impressed with the way she handled all four kids, like a pro (and, I mean, three boys - she has to be a pro, right?). Anyway, lots of input/impressions to process for me. Just wanted to mention.
- I have talked to my parents just a few times since the last day of the reunion. Mom finally called and acted like nothing happened. Fine - I'd rather be able to talk to her and ignore it than not be able to talk to her at all. It hurt, wanting to pick up the phone just to talk to her but not being able to because of anger and pride. Then again, I still don't call just to talk. I don't feel like I can do that any more.
- Court part Two is in five days.
- I guess I don't have as much to report as I thought. Mostly that first one. We should probably go change out of our pajamas soon.
