On my own
T is away at a role-playing game convention this weekend, selling his game. Rather than leaving me to handle the boys on my own, he arranged with my parents for them to take the boys for the weekend, as his con is close to where they live. So, I’ve got a rare weekend totally to myself.
I can’t say that I’ve been doing hugely exciting things. I ran some long neglected errands, finished our taxes, painted the closet in the boys’ room in preparation to install an organizer, read a silly book, cooked a big pot of yellow split pea soup, watched TV. Tomorrow night I’ve got dinner plans with friends, but mostly I’ve been enjoying the ability to do things without rushing or stressing about time and just to hang out.

Personally, I love reading Terry Pratchett. But taste in books is highly individual! I liked “Maurice”, but I had great fun reading aloud from “Wee Free Men” to my husband and son. I read one scene (Jenny Greenteeth) and had them so hooked that my husband read the rest of the book out loud to our son. He was five at the time and is a great reader at 6 and a half!
