home alone

in life

Inevitably I frequently end up home alone at night.  Sorry andy, but it’s true.  I really don’t mind him going places, but it does get a little annoying after Addy’s 8th meltdown of the evening.  Despite my attempts today; e.g. we took a walk, picked blackberries, cut with scissors. Despite all that, addy has been a monster.  I am sure it is really hard to be three and a half, but today I am failing to see how.  Is it really THAT bad to go to the bathroom?  There have been many “bring it down” and even more “addy, what are we? repeat after me. kind and gentle.”

I have a blackberry crisp in the oven (I really don’t make dessert often) and I am really hoping that can bring a nice end to a very whiny day.  Good thing we have our star baby around or else we would all go crazy.

Even more enticing than blackberry crisp is my physics that is sitting, lurking on the kitchen table. Re- studying physics has been about as fun as eating dirt.  Send me well wishes!

You go Kat. Dessert? I’m impressed if that happens once a year around here. If it makes you feel better I can hardly take Vera out in public anymore without a LOUD “NO!NO!NO!” tantrum. I totally look like that mom who can’t control her kid. Kids plus physics? No wonder you’ve been drinking high life out of a can :) Ha.
