I was walking with my friend Deepali. She has two kids, one the same age as the Boy and one younger.
"I cook my kids three meals a day and take care of everything they need. I am raising them like aristocrats, without the staff of twenty. No wonder I can't find time in my day."
I feel like that way too often. Kids take time, even as they get older. If you don't do this all yourself, you have to pay someone to take care of them. One friend was looking for a "channy" -- a combination chauffeur nanny to drive her kids to different activities and sports.
This blog is about the little and big thoughts that pop into my head. I once read that when Flannery O'Connor walked into a bookstore, she would want to edit her published works with a red pen. In the digital world, we have the luxury of tweaking things up after we've hit the publish button. I can be a perfectionist/procrastinator, where waiting for the ideal means little gets done. Here I will share what is not--and likely will never be--perfect.
