The New School Year

I look forward to the quiet when the kids go back to school, but there is a downside. I have to converse with myself and listen to the answers. I have to confront what I do and how I do it with myself and come up short. I have to accomplish things in bulk so that it looks as if my life is not worthless.

As each year goes by, my life doesn't change at the same rate as my children's. For the last few years, my life has been the same; the work and the play. Nothing much changes. Without change I feel as if a weight has been placed on my chest and each day the weight increases. Trying to change when others don't want or need it is near impossible.

Working from home is a blessing and a curse. The gods of motherhood are laughing at me.
