Trying to Normalize the Weird

She is home, my daughter that is. And being a youngster still, well it has been a long time since I lost my daytime. Now there is always something to do, one meal feels like it is barely finished before the next one gets underway. Everything has become a production, but it is nice to have the company.


I realize how little I get to see her and my husband now that she's at home with me. How we were living together but disparately. And while I am a dyed in the wool loner and really quite happy with it, it has been an awakening to see how much I've missed out on.

I give homework, well, I do. I was raised in a family of teachers so this is the only way I know how to have fun. And it is true that learning is fun. So far we have gone over some workbooks on what she learned this school year, writing, reading, talking about voting and the senses. It amazes me how easily she shoots through her lessons. I really need to send another thank you to her tireless teacher! When she was barely reading not that long ago and now I am shocked at how fluidly it seems to come to her.

My drive to run off to a little farm or some cabin in the woods and have my family all to myself, home and happy, is exerting itself again. It reawakened my quest for a bigger, older home with some land somewhere not too far from a major city but not too close to neighbors or subdivisions either. A home with all four seasons and some water near to swim in. If it exists at a price that can work for us, I will find it. Until then I intend to immerse myself in the time I have wholeheartedly.
