monday was my last day at the office. they're keeping me on call for consulting but i'm officially done. nirvana!! today i spent the day homeschooling the kids and not once we we interrupted by the phone, fax or the next big crisis at work. it was great. the kids deserve my full attention and i feel the massive ball of work responsibility i've been carrying around leave now that it's not my problem any more. *la la la*
ian's new obsession is musicals. i ordered singin' in the rain for him and he stood in front of the tv just enthralled by it. he's so friggin cute. if anybody knows any good musicals that are suitable for a 3 year old (no sex or violence please) let me know. he's thankfully outgrown the boobah phase and now he's all about real musicals. i took him to the optometrist because he's been squinting lately and wonder of wonders, he needs glasses. i'd figured as much. elisabeth was about the same age when she got glasses. my poor near sighted kids, one more thing they inherited from their geeky mum.
i've been reading anne robinson: memoirs of an unfit mother. i'm halfway through it and i find myself feeling very unsympathetic towards her. it's her autobiography and how she lost custody of her then 2 year old daughter. she's not a bad mother, it's just her job and alcohol were more important. i'm trying to reserve judgment but it's not easy. the sad thing is, this happened. these are real people with real lives, which just makes it more horrible. i think i'll read a nice fluffy book after this one.
