I’m struggling with parenting now at the moment I have a sliver of freedom (however brief). I get a week–4 days really. Tuesday through friday I am going to get some quality me time that will consist of a movie or two, lots of mine crafting, cleaning, and quite likely the construction of a novel outline. I also intend to schedule out the rest of my summer. There is a lot I need to get done in terms of summer opportunities and tying up loose ends. The biggest thing is paperwork. I’m terrible at that stuff, and I recognize it is the biggest part of the administrative role I seek to have in the distant future.
Beyond the professional stuff, I am struggling with the parenting stuff. My kids are crazy whiny right now. All three are looking to override parental rulings with the power of screams and tears. No such luck, but the behaviors are taking years off my life.
I need a vacation.
