It has been a busy, busy week chez little trooper. I've been running around attending to grown-up business—like finally filing our '07 income tax—so that I may fully enjoy the company of my awesome kids. School is out today and tomorrow for MEA* (statewide teachers' meetings), and I'm so excited to spend this time paling around with my boys, who typically (i.e., if I had an office job) would be in some sort of child care during "release days". Instead, we get to play!!
Both boys were really excited about an opportunity to visit John's office so he's taking each for one morning. That way, I get some one-on-one "quality time." This morning is Simon's turn with John. Simon was so excited he could hardly stand it. John works for a tech company that specializes in building websites for the media, mostly television networks, and, as such, his office has a lot of cool toys, including a Wii in the break room. Apparently Simon and another kid are playing—and raiding the vending machines.
As for Winston and me. Well, Winnie G is a bit of a homebody, so his idea of quality time with Mom is curling up under a blanket in front of the TV. Mom can read. Win can gorge himself on his guilty pleasure, Wonder Pets. Under the pretense of getting ready for the day, I have extricated myself from the mock opera, which is how I now happen to be blogging. The only way I'm going to be able to lure him out of the house is to offer a sushi lunch. We've got a date for California rolls, tekka maki, and hamachi at Saji Ya.
*I remember anticipating SDEA when I was a kid. We always visited my grandparents in Winner, SD, pheasant capital of the world, as SDEA tended to lead right into the Pheasant Opener. In caps, yes, because Pheasant Opener is an event—in fact, my parents are hosting their annual house party in Winner this weekend.
