I like reading Halley. She writes about the stuff that happens to me on a daily basis so I don’t have to. It is scary sometimes though. Last night Chelsey informed me that I needed to buy cupcakes for her geography class because they did so well on something that they earned a party of some sort. No note in the backpack, no notice on the website, just “dad, you need to get cupcakes for school.” This morning I read Halley’s Comment and she says, “I had the habit of mentioning after dinner that I needed 32 cupcakes for my class the next morning and stuff like that.” Makes me wonder if she’s reading my mind or something. I need to start writing my stuff earlier so it looks like she’s copying from me instead of me from her 🙂
Anyway she goes on to talk about the trials and tribulations of being a double parent and trying to juggle the world of our children and the world of our work. And for some I would assume there is the additional world of their personal lives, which I don’t have to worry about at this time.
