Sisyphus

It will be ten days before school starts for the kids. Then life will have a little breathing room.

Case in point....typing with one hand right now since little guy is hanging on right arm.

(Okay I just gave him two peeled clementines-that will hold him off for maybe 4 minutes.)

I have not "Pendereckied" much. In fact I have barely touched the viola except when teaching a couple lessons last week.

The culprits? Refereeing the children in their twice hourly fights. Facebook. Sleep. Writing emails. Changing some facets of my life.

The Sisyphus part comes from trying to keep the house neat and tidy everyday when there's still many disorganized bits to it. This hasn't been addressed since we've moved here two and a half years ago. I would like it to be better organized since I teach at home and it seems like every autism specialist in Central Vermont visits every day.

So I've decided starting this Thursday morning to the next Wednesday to take a virtual vacation so I can deal with the first life. The computer will go in the closet for the week. It's not going to be fun. Much of my life revolves around reading the newspapers online, reading my favorite blogs, reconnecting with some of my favorite people via Facebook. However this is the way it has to be.
