The Return of the Son etc..

reflection 2 Comments

He’s back. It’s a good thing. The house was too empty. I never thought I would feel like that. I have always appreciated my solitude, but I was delighted to have him home early.

Tonight the friends are all here upstairs watching movies and it feels like back to normal. A new kid (NK) came along tonight.
Son: Mum this is …..
NK: She already knows me.
Me: I do?
NK: Of course you do
Son: Were you in her class?
NK: No, but everyone knows me, ha ha.

How awkward. I don’t recall her. It’s often the case that every kid in the school knows you and somehow expects you to know them. There are over 600 kids on our campus. Impossible! I don’t think she realised I had no idea who she was. Phew!

Evan Almighty

The most interesting thing about this film for me was watching Lauren Graham in a different role. I have been watching ‘The Gilmour Girls’ this year on DVD. I love the series and especially Lorelai’s character. So to see a different character, who wasn’t as strong and spunky as Lorelai, was kind of freaky.

‘Evan Almighty’ was ok, there were a couple of laughs but I could have waited to see it on DVD. I must restore my weekly excursions to the cinema to see movies I want to see. I haven’t felt compelled to see anything for a while though. Or doing anything much for that matter. All this must change!

My excursion with my adorable neice and nephew today was a great start. They were so fun and grateful, it was an absolute pleasure and the perfect antidote to the misery I’ve been wallowing in lately. I really need to remember this experience and be more proactive at doing different things to snap out of these funks I find myself in from time to time.

My Blog is 2 today

So can we expect temper tantrums and wobbly walking and cute talking? Maybe! I don’t know. I don’t think it relates well to human development. Bad metaphor. My blog is a libran.
In case you didn’t notice I have removed lots of pointless and fruitless advertising today. I have also reduced my tags to a little over a hundred. Not quite as reduced as I’d hoped, but still an improvement.
Right now I don’t know what to expect from anything. Exciting hey! Scary too. I think I am getting a little stir crazy, home alone. Tomorrow I am going to visit my brother and his family and take his kids out for a movie, or some junk food, or what ever it is little kids like these days. I love kids. They are fun and in the moment, just what I need. Yes, I am not a great Auntie, I’m doing this for me.
I am feeling much restored after spending the day mostly in bed. My mum brought me magazines, soup and bread. She’s a treasure. I am probably the only Victorian who doesn’t know who won the ‘Grand Final’ – I wonder how long that will last.
