Back To School Day! Sayonara Spring break!
Well, the disappearing snow is revealing about a hundred million dirty squashed drink-cups and even more raggedy plastic bags scattered across this beautiful state. I have an urge to make some artsy black and white photos of all the plastic tree-flags blowing in the wind alongside every street in town. A couple of days ago I found in our front yard a long, black extension cord similar in shape to a garden hose, with a double-plug box at the end of it. Somebody's got to be missing that.
Our nephew Abe is having a rough week getting over last week's chemo. It's hard to know about him suffering and not really be able to help in a big way. I would love to just give him a big giant hug. Kids LOVE big hugs from aunties. I think.
As for me, increasing fluids is turning out to be easier said than done. My 4am-brain is wondering if the higher iron content of our well water might be affecting me somehow. I'm ready to charge into the urologist's office because my 4am-brain is tired of being jarred awake by my 2am-, 3am-, and 4am-bladder. Something's gotta give.
K leaves today for a week of flying out of Philadelphia, I think. LittleK had a tearful bedtime last night, asking why daddy couldn't just get a job at a bank or something. I told her we do have to put up with him being gone sometimes but we're so lucky to have him home for two weeks straight, fixing everything and taking the kids camping and making yummy yogurt pancakes from scratch.
The kids got the bikes out today and had a good time. K found a kite, too... R luuuuuvs to be outside and is discovering new ways to get muddy clothes, cold hands and wet feet.
This is about it for my 5am-brain, off to placate the 5am-bladder.
