Free Time!
Today is September 30th. School has been in session for a month and this is the first “free” morning I have had. I am not sure why I am so surprised that it took so long, it takes this long every year. As the end of August approaches, I start fantasizing about all the “free time” I will have once school starts. I dream of all the long mornings after drop-off with nothing but time on my hands. Time to write, time to send out queries, time to myself. And yet that does not really happen, not right away anyway. Those long mornings quickly fill up with volunteer activities at the school, appointments put off until school days can provide the free childcare required for such appointments, and even paid work (yay for paying jobs!).
And so after a full thirty days, my “free morning” has finally arrived. I am still in bed (yes, I am!) and I reading, writing, reading, and writing some more.
All good things come to those who wait!
