I love my life and I love my job as a teacher. But, I am tired and I am looking forward to the next week when there is no work (no school for the kids). My husband and my youngest daughter will spend a long weekend abroad. They are both playing in a band (trombone and flute) and they will visit a musical with the band. I will stay home with my daughter and son. But to be honest, they are like ninjas and hardly noticeable unless it is time for food. (Maybe they are more like vampires?) I love them dearly. It will be a quiet couple of days. Nights will be different here too, I am almost certain that I won’t sleep much. I will miss the breath and other noises of my husband makes every night next to me. When he was on the road more, mixing gigs for a local band, I never was able to fall asleep, until I heard his key in the door lock. That was all it took, really. But it was that little moment that made me relax enough. I love that man a lot, even when I am moody or irritated. (Which happens more again)
Anyway… Enjoy a couple of quiet days, I know I will.
