Life With Boys

Life with boys … it 6 am … Matt just woke me up to tell me he saved me from being cold … and promptly fell back to sleep … it is still dark and the birds are chirping away … it has been a to-do list kind of spring break-ish … of course none of the breaks align with one another … final wrestling banquet … lots of laundry … summer job paperwork … two round-trips to Indiana … meals at some really unexceptional spots along the way … taxes filings for all … dental and haircut appointments … introduction to the British show Taskmasters … college acceptance checklists to follow … family and puppy visits … vet checks … and now both cats are sneezing like they each caught a cold … my teaching and class schedules are shifting again … and oh, by the way, one boy has mono again … the second time this year … and yes, they do think it is a new case not just a relapse … he just barely caught up from the first round … so just as the new sport season is starting the boy is sidelined again … and we all just keep plugging along … I think I need a break from our accomplishments … and my baby toes still hurts …
