From my time away on Wordpress.com:
Today is a Teacher Planning Day (end of the quarter, filling out those Report Cards!), so the kids are home from school, and it is a rainy, gray day in Atlanta. I sent The Girl (age 9) off to work with Daddy for a couple of hours, which is one of the huge benefits of living in a Midtown hi-rise right across the street from DH's office -- we love the Live, Work & Play urban development concept!
I never signed on to become a Suburban Housewife with a Commuter Daddy, especially with 3 kids. I'd take my Concierge and 10th-floor balconies any day over home maintenance and gardening. I could go on and on about the benefits of urban living, but the biggest benefit is having DH/Daddy right across the street, especially (but not
just!) on Teacher Planning Days.
I do, however, have to get off my computer at the moment, so that my Young Son (age 6) can get on to
Webkinz and check on his cyber-animal. Big responsibility, you know, and his big brother, Older Son (age 12) is hogging the "kid's computer" to play
Runescape online with his friends, who are also home from school today, playing on the computer. I remember when we just laid around and watched cartoons all day...
