Summer Vacation, Day One. I have decided to take the day off so that I
can sleep in with my kids, which I don't, since my body is completely
programmed to get up early, so I take the car in for its State
Inspection, only to find a mostly still sleeping household when I return
home, so I have to cajole people to get up so we can go to the movie
that we talked about last night when I decided I'd better make plans so
we wouldn't schlump through the day, and I manage to get us all there
and out of there without spending too much on claw game machines before
we go home to have lunch in the apartment we then try to clean before we
can go out for frozen yogurt (a post-doctor's appointment treat), which
makes it a good thing that I don't cook dinner till late, leaving us
still with ample time to play Legos and watch reruns, since there's no
homework and it's not a school night.
And thus begins summer for a person who has a very hard time sitting
still and getting nothing accomplished. (Though, perhaps it's good that
it's summer, since no teacher I know would ever, ever, allow a sentence
as long as that one above.)
But we're off! (Well, at least they are!)
