No cable for a week. Nothing but computer, videotapes, and DVDs. I'll be interested to see how the bandar log survive. I probably won't even notice unless one of them says something.
We sat down beforesmplmn left and discussed Hallowe'en costumes. I think that nobody is getting anything like the elaborate costumes they envisioned earlier, but everybody is getting something. Gotta buy some dowels and safety pins, and we'll be good to go. Imagination (and greed) is everything on Hallowe'en. And the plans for the Hallowe'en party are safely put off until the next weekend, when smplmn will be back from various parts, known and unknown.
It looks as though Mondays might be taking shape. I drop off Middlest at her job (mother's helper) at three. She watches two little ones while their mother works on her home-based business. Every other week, I drop Bigglest off right after that at the library, which is practically next door, so that he can do his volunteer hours. This week was actually supposed to be an off-week, but the volunteer coordinator called and said he could come in and help her stamp discards if he wanted to. Of course he wanted to. Came home with a Star Wars book and a book on Patton, too -- history for free! Spend some time at the library with Littlest, maybe get a little coffee, then go back and pick up Middlest at 4:30 so that I can take her to skating. Drop her off, pausing long enough to help her into her skates -- I'm guessing that she's probably capable of learning to lace her own skates, but I'm willing to be a sucker on this one -- and then go pick up Bigglest from the library around 5:00. Goof off at home for twenty minutes and go back to the ice rink, arriving just in time to watch the tag end of Middlest's class. Come home and have dinner.
Basically, perfectly relaxed and nicely scheduled. Maybe we'll occasionally schedule pizza for Mondays, because I can call in the order just as we're leaving to pick up Middlest and pick it up on the way home. And everybody gets to do everything they want, including Littlest, who gets spoiled by some one-on-one with Mama.
