just curious... are you no longer keeping a score then?

I have gone quite feral this summer ... I know you've noticed my lack of entries and comments. I think I've been paring down and simplifying again. (My ultimate goal might be to be happy living in a cardboard box with nothing more than something to read and something to write.)

Of course, I am nowhere NEAR that kind of zen-hood and the back-to-work/school season is upon us. I expect that I'll be picking Keeping Score back up any day now. To get through the summer without letting everything slide, I concentrated on 12 daily "tasks" and as much fun / appreciation / romance / etc as I could stand. I didn't track much and the little I did do, I kept mostly private. I just needed a break.

Sounds like what I did all summer which was pretty much throwing all caution to the wind. getting back into a normal rising-sleeping schedule with the kids was murder though. I'll have to rethink that plan for next summer. lol

But without my maternal responsibilities, I would SO be in a box either reading or writing. But I tell myself that these are the days I'm gathering information to write about so that when the kids fly the coup, then I'll have all the stories in the world to share. It is only partially consoling. And I'm usually awake into the wee hours reading because I can't read while the kids are up.
