I'm forty. Not so bad. For my special day, Scott took time off from work, and drove the kids and I into the city to visit the museum of fine art. This was truly the best gift. I feel so refreshed after a day with all that canvas, paint, sculpture, and new thought! My favorite time of all was surprisingly after lunch. Scott and I grabbed a fresh cup of coffee, and sat outside. The kids were so sweet, playing tag among the stones and pillars. I got the most pleasure listening to their uncontrollable giggles and squeals! On Friday night Scott and I again joined Elisabeth and Jeff for a grown-ups night out. We left the kids to their own devices and headed to Bob's Steakhouse. Unbelievable food! I had delicious crab-cakes, and Scott got a mouth watering T-Bone steak. Jeff informed the server of my birthday which allotted me a divine piece of cake to round out the night. When we arrived home the kids were happy, but tired!
As I write this the kids are diligently working in their math books. YES. School has officially started, and we are slowly getting used to earlier mornings, and our dual roles as Mom/child and Student/teacher.
