Daycare transitions

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

A. goes to back to her office Monday, and Sadie begins full-time daycare. We’re all figuring out how we’ll adjust our schedules to our new realities. Sadie will get to make all sorts of new friends and I’ll spend my evening drive down route 16 calculating the likelihood of a speeding ticket vs. the amount of the daycare’s late fees.

We’ll see how it goes.

This transition, among other things, has been killing my writing time, mostly explaining why it’s been awful quiet in my little corner of the web. I’ll try to get back on a more regular writing schedule soon.

We have a wonderful life right now, and it’s very well structured. If we didn’t have our routines and patterns down, we’d spin off into chaos. Still, at this point, I can’t imagine what my life was like four years ago, when I would come home after work and just hang out with friends, play on the web, maybe watch a little TV. I’d kill for that kind of unstructured time now, when my list of attractive side projects is longer than it’s ever been. Alas, youth is always wasted on the young.
