I turned away from the potential S'mores. I've gone from a houseful of kids to quiet. My daughter went with her cousins for a few days and will return when it's time for her lesson. She's auditioning for a fall show a week from Monday and realllly wants to be prepared. We missed this week's lesson because of a mother-daughter meltdown (I think we were both tired).
We've had continual thunderstorms and the dog is like Peter Pan's shadow, anxious with my every movement. I'm thinking doggy drugs are in order, the poor thing. Consequently I'm not sure about what to do as far as getting out and about.. like seeing my first movie alone, if she's this anxious.
I have to remember that my focus on other's needs kept me isolated and free from having to try new things. Yet I'm tired from all the late nights (we weren't going to bed until midnight) and waking up early.
At one point I remember how much I loved having the time alone, free of stress and anxiety. That I didn't have to worry about how much I disappointed WTS on regular basis. Being tired can warp my way of thinking, so perhaps just resting and relaxing is a good thing to do.
Ahh.. the oldest is home. Perhaps I'll entice him with dinner!
