Real life. Dishes that have become more than just necessity. Naptimes that are more than just convenient. Rules that have reappeared. Sighs that are heavier, deeper and more frequent. Dinner plans. Tomorrow’s schedule. Work. Bills. Day-to-Day.
I never thought I’d have the inclination to unplug from my life as much as I did while we were in Vermont. I’m sure that a very large part of my disconnect from the virtual world was the fact that I cracked the screen of my Macbook the night before we left. I was at the mercy of Dan’s PC: typing is not quite as therapeutic when you’re on another’s computer.
But unplugging was good. The one time I sat to write something I didn’t even publish it. It was oh so very incomplete. (I just published it now, pre-dated, just cause.) Now I am back to my life, and opening up a computer is a break from the goings on round here. Three kids in all their various stages. In all their various activities (read: modes of trouble-making). In all their various states of happiness and unhappiness.
I’m sure I’ll post some pictures of the Lake House and the carefree kids (and parents) but right now I have to focus on packing three months of Triathlon training into one week. Yeah, right. I’m just hoping I don’t drown on the first leg.

The blues. Tell me ABOUT it. Can we save our pennies and go for two weeks next year?
OH………how I know how you feel. I was, I swear, sad for like 2 weeks after our cruise. And a triathlon is on my Life List, but I am terrified of the swim….I’m rootin’ for ya. And another thing…I thought I was the only crazy one who didn’t feel “inspired” on someone else’s computer.
