| trying to fit two lives into one weekend |
another saturday night at home while one child is at a friend's house, and another has a friend here. i once again have the privilege of saying, "girls, you need to quiet down and go to sleep now!" once again, I can be ignored as two girls under the age of 10 giggle wildly in the other room. i'm sure they'll eventually drift off . . . . . they always do.
beloved and i had tentatively talked of going out this weekend -- the two of us. you know, like on a date? but i dropped the ball. i forgot, and did not line up a sitter in time. i suppose it isn't too surprising, considering the chaos of the First Week of Classes, but I wish I had. It would have been a nice cap to a crazy week. I have already contacted Babysitter Extraordinaire and next Saturday it is. Dinner and a Movie for Us.
We were going to watch a movie here at home while the girls giggled in the other room, but by the time I got the kids into their room with lights out, and we wrapped up what we had been doing, it was 10:20, and hte movie is 2 hours long, and we are Old. So instead, I curled up with my alma mater's monthly newsletter (separate post forthcoming), and Beloved with a design book .....
Tomorrow the girl-swap happens around 10 a.m., and we have a play to go to at 4:30 p.m., if Thing Two isn't too exhausted. Otherwise, I'm going to do a couple loads of laundry, perhaps try to straighten my bedroom, and at some point ..... read 2 days' worth of Fed Courts, write a complaint for Fed Courts, and read 2 days' worth of Education.
Sometimes, law school gets in the way. |
