I think I shall start getting back to blogging very soon. I've been quite busy and today we have Parents as Teachers coming, which cuts about two hours out of my day. Matilda's summer school ends this week as well, so I'm trying to prepare for the onslaught of the next six weeks until school starts again. Daily I will get this.

"I'm bored."

"Can you take me swimming?"

"Mom always makes me a hot lunch."

"No one will play with me."

"Can we go get ice cream?"

"Mom lets me play with the nail polish remover on the coffee table."

"I hate my friends. They called me fat."

"I'm worried that the Dow lost 10% yesterday, will this mean that when I grow up the economy will be ruined because of the poor spending habits of your generation and their techno-lust in the stock market?"

Sigh.
