The kids are away at camp this
week, and I have to confess, I really miss them. It’s not so much that I’m
sitting around pining away for them, but they are such a presence in our
household that you really feel the void when they are gone. I realize I should
be relishing all this free time to ourselves, and true, it’s nice not to have
to stop working because I have to make lunch or dinner, but maybe I enjoy
stopping to do things for the kids? Have I become a slave to domesticity, or
what?
Either way, the house is quiet,
but there is some value to not having an inordinate amount of free time. I
remember when I was single, I sat around and got nothing done. Now that I’m a
parent, I have so little free time but get so much more accomplished.
Aah, the paradoxes of life. Don’t
you love it?
Until the next time, thanks for
reading, and thanks to
Steve Cyr for the pic.
