Quiet
August 22, 2012
I left my phone/ipod at home so during the dog walk I had time to think my own thoughts. Probably not a great thing, for a little while I was playing around with a poem that used the words “butterfly” and “matchstick” broken into pieces, nouns and verbs, very symbolic, Sophie didn’t like it one little bit.
Next I pondered how quickly the month of July and the first half of August has passed. Before I had a chance to finish that thought, I was turning the key in the ignition. In an attempt to make the evening last a little longer, to put off turning into my driveway and turning my attention to tomorrow’s lunches and laundry, I watched the sun set before turning left. I stopped at the yellow light and smiled at an old man in the crosswalk.
Maybe next time I want to slow time down, I should probably do it before I get behind the wheel and put my foot on the gas.
Billy Elliot

Tonight we went to see Billy Elliot, a musical that touched on a man trying to take care of his child at a cost of a huge moral sacrifice. By the time the kids were in bed it was 11:15, to late to find a union line to cross and I didn’t think Colin would appreciate it if I woke him up ask if he’d like a kidney.
So I set to work on cleaning the kitchen. Why do I have 4 opened and barely used c
After about 45 minutes of mopping and musing I decided my children would be better served by a mom who had gotten eight hours sleep than a newly lined silverware drawer or teas in alphabetical order.
That’s how the kitchen got so damn messy in the first place.
