Hey OT--maybe you have a point, but the fact is, I've made a good life here with great friends and community--I love my house (which I just refinanced) and the kids are pretty settled, so...it's hard to up and leave.
Anyway, I am filling out the grant application for the Effroymson Art Fellowship (it's 20K and due June 30th) and if you want to vet it for me, you know how to find me--write me and I'll send it to you.
I am pretty brain dead these days--no break from the kids for a LOOOOOOOONG time and I'm fried. I leave for M aine on Friday and have so many things to get ready but I'm so spent mentally I can't really get it together. The wayward "father" comes to fetch his children tomorrow (he hasn't seen them for 6 weeks)--I'm sure he'll swoop in like some conquering hero to pretend for all the world what a rockin' great dad he is--blech. I just want him to get these kids and get them out of my hair so I can breath a little.
Hopefully after a 10 day break and a lovely time in Maine I will be recharged and compus mentus again
