The High School boy has been home sick all week and, with a few exceptions, I have been home for about 12 days.
Man, this has got to end soon.
I want him to get well fast and go back to school or work. I want TH to have more subbing work and get the summer job he's looking at. I want to get all my calls, appointments and bills done for my mother. I want it to stop raining so I can work in the garden and go for walks. I want my shoulder to stop hurting at weird, unexpected times, so I can stop popping ibuprofen and eying the oxycontin bottle.
It's less than a month away from the end of the school year. These are usually the happiest days of my life. Unfortunately, I'm not working anymore, Delicate Flower is going to be in summer school for most the summer, The High School Boy may or may not be moving to the East Coast in the Fall and everything feels completely upside down.
Sometimes you just want to eat a piece of chocolate and take a long nap.
Wake me when it gets a little more normal around here.

Well, you officially have earned a whole lotta chocolate, and a nap or two.
Love the raccoon. He's like a marmot gone to the dark side.
I love that description!!!!! Don't even think I'm not gonna use it, either! I'm sorry I missed your call--I think I was in the depths of LOST The Finale, when it came in. Love you MUCH
