Everything around me these days seems neglected. There's a week's worth of dirty dishes piled up by my sink, I haven't been posting very much here, I haven't seen much of my two best girlfriends lately, I'm behind on my email correspondence. Yet I feel as busy as ever; I'm not conscious of slacking. I'm blaming it on kindergarten--it is sucking up a lot of my energy: filling out endless paperwork, going to school functions in the evening, meeting lots of new people. I miss the friendships I made with the parents at the kidlet's preschool, though. I've been playing phone tag with one, and emailing with another, and hopefully can actually make some face to face contact soon. Luckily, one family came along with us to the same elementary school, and I am growing to like them more and more. And now it's October, and my obligations only increase for the rest of the year. Must be time to repeat one of my favorite sayings: Single motherhood--it's not for the faint of heart.

Uh, I guess I shouldn't be the one to break this to you, but the kindergarten days are a piece of chocolate pie compared to "middle school" or "junior high ". All in good time, my Pretty!
