I usually never resort to this, but today I wrote a long post, with revisions, on the poetry reading I went to Sunday afternoon (which was amazing, really, and just what I needed), and then it got eaten. And it was one of those days: meetings, issues, an amazing speech from a student at our morning meeting, and then a small fire at the end of the day that evacuated the whole building and made me late to pick up my kids, and then on the way home I realized I hadn’t gone grocery shopping this weekend and had no idea what to make for dinner.
So instead, this is my authenticity post. The post where I am tired, and we ate dinner in front of the TV, and it was mac and cheese from a box, and I’m not doing the dirty dishes in the sink right now because I’m too tired. I’ve been answering emails and juggling commitments and shuffling schedules and feeling tugged in all directions, just like most parents do much of the time, I know. And I’m feeling okay– the reading was great, and I’m feeling good about my job. I’m starting to realize that I need to get serious about weekend meal planning though, and maybe even weekend batch cooking or a freezer cooking scenario…..
But all in all, things are good. Really. Really good, and really real.
Missing your regularly posting, but I’m glad it’s because things in life are going really well!!
Aw, thanks, Anjali! I went almost a week there and I was really feeling the urge to blog, but lacking the time. I’m going to try to be more regular, becuase I miss it when I’m not writing regularly.
