Out of the house
This morning I attended a school event at Link’s class. It was called “Moms and Muffins.” The whole point is for Moms to come to class and read for an hour with their children. As an enticement to the moms, they are given muffins if they come. Link was very excited about this event. He’d watched Gleek have her turn a couple of months ago and was glad for an hour of having mom all to himself. I was glad for the event as well. It finally got me out of the house for a pleasant event. Out of the house is important because otherwise I’d spend all day attempting to entertain myself by watching the advance of glaciation on my windows.
I also got out of the house to run Patches to his gym class and to pick up Gleek from school and to pick up Link from school and to pick up Kiki from school. Those trips weren’t as fun, because mostly they involve coaxing recalcitrant children into and then out of the van. Gleek did recalcitrant exceptionally well today. By the time I was done doing all of that out-of-the-house I was rather glad when Kiki decided to skip art lessons today. Instead I huddled in my office and played Chuzzle for awhile. My office is a much nicer place now that I’ve installed a full spectrum light. Partly I wonder if it is a placebo effect. Perhaps the addition of any lamp would have made it better. Oh well. I have the bulb now. I might as well use it.
