It turned from summer to winter this year. No Fall... I was ready for a change, but summer to winter doesn't seem drastic enough. Maybe a vacation is in order. Then there's the problem of committments and school. Maybe I could just be irresponsible and take Tommy out of school for a few days and go visit family or better yet, drive to LegoLand. Sometimes I secretly wish my kids were just sick enough to stay home but not sick enough to have to stay in bed. It would be a great excuse to throw out the schedule for the day or the week and do everything together with no interruption. Thomas had Chicken Pox a few weeks ago. I loved every minute of it (it was a very mild case). Even better would be the "secret wish" that Emmett could retire really early. He has so many talents and abilities but can't use them because he is so tied up at work. Most of my dreams include him and his talents. If he can't free up some time, then my dreams are shot :). Schedules, time, committments, responsibility make up the reason for my inability to satiate this need for change. For now I'll just dwell on the weather and it will have to suffice.
