Oh, the things a gal will do when her kids are out of town,
to keep from missing them crazy-fierce.
1. Get a haircut
2. Practice yoga
3. Have coffee with friends
4. Wash the curtains
5. Write letters
6. Practice yoga
7. Try Stand-Up Paddling
8. Finish a picture book manuscript
9. Submit a picture book manuscript
10. Practice yoga
And in between all this, blend food for and take walks with my husband,
who’s getting a little bit well-er and a little bit stronger everyday.
So.
There you go.
Things could be a lot worse…
Namaste.

Wash the curtains? Now that’s something I wouldn’t think of if I had the free time to which you refer. Yay Kurt!
Re: filling time
Well, see, that’s the thing. It’s amazing where the mind will go when you’re missing your babies…

Do you have pictures of the Standup Paddling? Is that like they do with the gondolas in Venice?
And yay for all the yoga time. 🙂
OK, it IS like the gondolas — but kind of on a surfboard.
I’ll put a picture on facebook.
Wish you were here to yoga with me!!

I am incredibly happy to hear about all of these things on your list. And especially for that last part that doesn’t have a number.
Phew. Me, too.

…you just sneak those books right on in there, don’t you?
Now imagine the list of things the girls are doing so that they are filling up their time. Lots of fun on both sides — indeed, things could be a lot worse…
I, too, demand pictures of the standing-up paddling thing. And if it’s with a gondola, I think you just have to sing…
Re: tanita says 🙂
OK, lemme find a photo. It’s fun. You could do it on a loch in Scotland. I swear you could.
Re: tanita says 🙂
Babe, the water here is REALLY COLD. I’m thinkin’ no…

So glad your husband is getting a little well-er every day. Sending good thoughts.
Thank you!

Ha! I misread it as Standup Padding and thought, What the…? Now, what fantastic ways to fill your days.
My daughter Maddie is at camp again this week. I’m missing her, too, but know she’s having a great time.
Yay for well-er and stronger!
It helps knowing they’re having a great time, doesn’t it???? That is the point, afterall. To grow them up and send them out into the world, happy and confident and open-eyed…

Sounds like you’ll have some quality stand-up-paddling time with your girls once they’re back. 🙂 So happy to hear that Kurt is feeling better.

so glad
I’ve been checking back (infrequently, to be sure –life is so crazy) hoping to hear some good news about your husband. Please know that, although my time is not my own these days, I think of you all at least once a day and breathe a little prayer of hope and healing. I wish I was closer and could bring you… flowers and yarn (the things that most sustain ME anyway!)
love,
Barb (Cooper)
