She has a little cold. Her big sis Tabs is home again with a sore throat and cough. However, it is very mild and I hope she will return to school tomorrow. Needless to say, our swim night is cancelled until all are well. It is just as well as I have to have Mistaya at drama rehearsal in make-up and curled hair for 5:30. And I must send her with a supper to-go. Tonight I am making club house sandwiches and sweet potato fries. Easy.<\/p>\n<div>This weekend my girls and I will start our pot garden on our balcony. Also, I am planting perhaps 100 sunflowers on our back slope.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>I am in a confused state of mind as I am not ready to plan out my thesis in detail until I am finished my classes&#8230;I guess I better discuss this with my supervisor. I need the time to figure it all out. I am not sure I am ready to nail it down yet. I just do not have the time. Every spare minute I spend on my class. Three children take up a lot of time. And they are unpredictable with their wants. Take today: Tabs decided to stay home. The school phoned and said it was picture day. I had to drop Pip at day care, drive Tabs to school and then pick her up again at lunch, which took a least 1\/2h + out of my work time. Pip&#8217;s day care teacher&#8217;s son was in the same predicament so I drove him to school too.<\/div>\n<div>Mistaya is busy all weekend with her play, thus PJ and I will be staying close to home as she is our one and only babysitter. And we must be available to drive her to and from the performances.<\/div>\n<div>I admit it, working on classes takes too much time. I am longing to be able to spend more time on my passions: writing and painting.<\/div>\n<div>Will meditate tonight&#8211;saw a picture of a woman on a pilgrimage in Tibet, she was walking around Mnt. Kawagebo&#8211; a sacred Buddhist site. I <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">SO <\/span>want to got to India and Tibet. But alas, schooling first. \u00a0This is how I am feeling, \u00a0little tired of my class (it is the most boring one yet) and so longing to have the time to get on with my passions in life. But I cannot travel the world on fairy dust, and this is why I am going to graduate school&#8211;to advance my career. And then hopefully my pockets will be filled with more than just fairy dust.<\/div>\n<div>And speaking of fairies, we have a resident fairy in our home. Her name is Larch, she is actually a brownie. My girls have been communicating with her for years, she usually writes back and always drinks the chocolate milk they leave for her.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Pip.
