8:33 on a saturday sleepover night. I am quietly debating the virtues of being a shut in. The truth is If you have a big enough house and access to amazon.com the need to leave your house is greatly reduced. I have several friends who telecommute and I myself practice that lifestyle in the summer months. I realize this conversation is triggered by the sleepover. Having 4 boys in place makes one consider the life of a hermit. There was even a moment when I shoved them outside towards the evening sun, shut the door, and observed a very brief moment of silence.
My wife is searching online for weed killer. In her summer mode she turns into this green-thumbed goddess driven to make her house a better place. Now that summer is, in the work sense, a bemusing memory I wonder how long it will take for her to shift back into that hard charging student mode that also makes me smile.
Seriously, I am out of words tonight. I think this many kids in one space is damaging to the ability to think.
