Finally, a break

Both my summer courses are over, so I will have a few weeks before the fall semester starts and things get hectic again. Yay! Though of course I'm sure they'll pass all too quickly.

Here's one of those things that's probably too much information (for everyone except Wonder Woman =D), but I have something else to celebrate - having finally reached that stage where our two children are old enough to start playing together, allowing mom & dad to sneak off for some alone time! It was starting to feel like squeezing it in once a week was going to be permanent...

Today, after sneaking off for some alone time with the computer, I found Benjamin crying in the midst of a carpet of crushed red pepper. He had apparently spilled the whole bottle on the floor, then tried eating it, and also rubbed it in his eyes, so he had a red little face for a while. Vincent had been eating it too, and was complaining that it hurt his mouth. I had no sympathy for him and just laughed at him. I'm pretty sure that my spice bottle had not been sitting low enough for Benjamin to have gotten into it on his own!

I really miss my muse. My busy summer either drove her off to Tahiti, or put her into a catatonic state. Even though I seldom did anything with my fits of creativity, I still enjoyed thinking of story ideas and daydreaming up little worlds and characters. I just feel very flat and dull right now.

Well, I guess that's enough rambling for the moment!
