...or does everyone want to crawl into bed—right this minute! At 2:09 in the afternoon!—with a book, read for an hour, fall asleep, and not wake up until someone knocks on your door bearing a breakfast tray?
Not gonna happen.
But never mind. I may not be hitting the flannel sheets anytime soon, but at least writing has re-entered my little life. When, Ver? When did this small miracle occur? Well, since you asked, I will tell you that it happened this morning as I waited in the car for Lea's art class to finish up. I usually take that time to run a few quick errands or return phone calls or make appointments, but today I decided to bring my laptop and just sit in the car. I purposely (purposefully?) did not bring any reading material, my headphones, or my moleskine. Amazing what can be accomplished when you only give yourself one option. Okay, maybe two: stare out the window at the rain or write. I was in the thick of it in no time, and then—in what seemed like ten minutes, tops—it was over. Mom duties rule the rest of the day, but I just checked my schedule and eleven to midnight is wide open...
