Earning my Stripes


It's Saturday and the whole house is sleeping. An interesting bird is singing in the backyard and I am dreaming of the first sips of my coffee. I have been neglecting this little space as of late and I am hoping to chronicle some lovely Island moments and ice cream faced children in the weeks and months ahead.

Here's a summary of what's been going on:

A couple of lean teams got leaner at work and my phone won't stop ringing and performance reviews are coming and soon I'm going to be taking Fridays off and the grass now needs cutting every 4-5 days and the bed wetting continues and the geraniums need a drink every night (and so do I) and I'm returning phone calls to my girlfriends I love so well so much more slowly than I'd like and then the Shigella came and the Spring concerts and the registering for Kindergarten and the hiring of the nanny and the big frisbee that the kids love so well keeps us laughing after dinner as we stand in the long grass of the back yard thinking about the laundry inside that is waiting for me.

And now I need a bit of time to go and find the right striped tee because Audrey Tautou as Coco Chanel could not look more perfect and I think if i just had one the same I could probably face just about anything. Happy Weekend!
