It's off to work I go.

If I end up putting it close to a full day today I'm going to take a day to myself in the next two weeks. Birthday present to myself.

And I plan to do some baby shopping on the way into work, too. I haven't been in a baby department of any store for ages. Should be fun or at least super-nostalgic. I may tear up some, looking

Me days are always good, although I tend to spin my wheels at home if I don't have set plans (always something that needs doing first before I do what I want). Plus there's a ticking clock for pick up at the end of the day.

No car pool options for me--I literally do not know anyone at the middle school and v. few elementary school parents. There's a couple of folks I can possibly rely on for possible emergencies. I think. Maybe. I'm not good at meeting people.

I think the problem is I don't want to commit to an activity unless we're sure we can cover it, by ourselves. And I work every other weekend and sometimes all of them, as does R. We are constantly shifting things around to accommodate work necessities or emergencies.

What I can't decide is whether the boys want to do more but don't insist because they know our reality, or whether they should be doing more and I should push them and myself to do better, or whether we're all just lazy sods or what.

The insularity really gets to me. No man may be an island, but sometimes I think I am one.
