Writing is Not in My Daily Routine Now.
So my dog had surgery. Then my husband had surgery. I am playing nurse (not my favorite role) and while it really isn’t that taxing, I do very little parenting these days.
The kids, in fact, are doing beautifully.
Meanwhile, the holidays are upon us. I am cramming in work (teaching) and daily duties, and preparing for two birthdays. I am supposed to be selling toys, but I haven’t even taken photos for the sales posts yet.
I have considered just dropping the blog, but I think that’s unfair to Shane who, for all rights and purposes, is now a true teenager.
But writing is not in my daily routine now. Thinking about parenting is constant. I just don’t have the regular revelations I used to have.
It helps that Dylan has been accepted to college and I can stop worrying so much about him. In fact, I am not worried much about either of them, because I am too busy worrying about daily life.
So while I am not really taking a break, I am apologizing to anyone who is here looking for wisdom – or even stories – about parenting. Hopefully I will acquire more wisdom and stories after the holidays.
