Having a daughter of my own, has made my job harder in some ways, especially when something comes in in relation to a child Mouse's age.<br /><br />I find that too. I sometimes am able to squeeze in reading time before bed, but usually I'm so tired I'd rather just go to sleep. If I didn't have to wake up so early . . . <br /><br />I had hoped to find something for Mouse to do this summer, but it's so hard because I work outside the home and most activities for young children are scheduled during the weekdays. It's very frustrating. I had been hoping to get her in swim lessons. I can't afford the private ones, and since we don't have a pool (other than the little inflatable kind), my options on that front are limited. I'm so disappointed the YMCA was closed. Their Saturday classes were perfect. :-(Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-22069942601916068192013-06-05T09:00:40.274-07:002013-06-05T09:00:40.274-07:00Charlie - I do miss going home, but even the short...Charlie - I do miss going home, but even the short commute eats up so much time (not to mention gas) and leaves me with only 20-25 minutes at home. It's nice to have the full hour to read when I bring my lunch. I think I'm pretty safe about the office staying empty during the day. It's actually an occupied office, but the person who it belongs to works a weekend shift so we never see each other (I used to pump in there back in my pumping days).<br /><br />I'm with you about playing games with young children. Mouse comes up with some fun ones, which I can't imagine playing as an adult with other adults.

I imagine it's normal for two year olds in general, but it's new to me. <br /><br />I'm picturing crazy squirrels chasing you back into your building. LOL We have a breakroom in my office building, but too many people come looking for me with work questions and such. I think most everyone knows which office I hang out in, but they seem to respect that they shouldn't bother me there. I am not sure why the difference . . .

You games with Mouse sound precious, there's something wonderful in games that don't 'work' as adults, that you can really join in with for the children.

It took a YEAR for her to understand that we are supposed to find HER and that she is not supposed to find herself. Kids!<br /><br />I live too far away to drive home for lunch but I usually find an empty classroom or lab to read in. If it's nice, I will eat outside but lately the crazy squirrels have been a bit of a bother. Falling out of trees, jumping into my lunch box, etc. I can't read when I am constantly watching them for rabid behavior.

Right now I'm about 3/4 of the way through a book called The Hypnotist's Love Story by Liane Moriarty and i'm very entertained. I fell in love with her book "What Alice Forgot".Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.com
