Life With Boys

Life with boys … it is 3 am … the 3D printer is running non-stop again, so the boy must be home … went to tell him it is making a noise … he said to ignore it … so here I am listening and waiting, for what I am not sure … it is that weird in-between time … like finishing finals, and looking up for the first time in weeks … and not knowing what to do next … the in-between is usually a hard place for me to be … it allows too much time for contemplation … the list of long ignored to-do’s is extensive, but maybe should not be started in the middle of the night … the printer continues to rattle … needs some part replaced, not sure we can even get parts still – the irony is not lost on me – but no I do not think we can print a replacement part … and time continues to march along … it hardly seems possible that Christmas is only a few days away … maybe it is the unseasonably warm weather … not that I will not take it … I just wonder about just how awful July will be … I look forward to gathering with family … and hope precautions to protect each other have been taken … I am excited to make new memories … to see where the next chapter of this life with boys will take me … because we all know it will be somewhere unexpected …
