having talked a few days about her desire to go "Far away on a plane to visit grandma sue and james." k had a fine day. we dealt with the disappointment of not going to new jersey, by visiting cutie catty who enjoyed the company. she ran around the park with uncle tom. and then mom and k came home to skype with nani and nana for nana's bday, followed by a quick lunch. then we were off to swimming practice, grocery shopping, and library. k enjoyed hearing her brother's message on the answering machine and expects to have an update daily, especially about the weather and the luggage. evening brought some manicotti, salad, and wii activity. k picked out a molten chocolate cake from trader joe's for dessert. so we split one before heading upstairs to read. both of us fell asleep instantly. a nice end to a sunny day. the only difficulty is that mom has pink eye in both eyes and can't see as well as usual.
we will be social while we can. we have plans for some dinner tomorrow night. to see a friend tuesday night. and then we have to reconfigure our calendar based on the anticipated weather. so watch out world -- k and mom are on the loose. several of my friends and i have been conversing about how having one child for a week by yourself is like a vacation. it is so much easier. it should not be, but it is. funny how it gets exponentially more complicated with more people.
