I was up early again this morning, but not as early as yesterday. Did get some things done, but was back in bed for a snooze by 10:00 and up at noonish. By that time, Meg had gone down for a snooze because she had a headache and just didn't feel well.
It was not as pretty a day today, so I wasn't inclined to be outside much. Meg had told me that Plainfield High School was presenting its last musical on the stage in the present building. (Next year, they will be in the new, improved PHS.) The show, which had a matinee today, was You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, a musical that I helped to direct when I was in an elementary teaching position in Illinois many years ago. The PHS production was directed by none other than Robin's Kindergarten teacher, with the music directed by her old choir and vocal teacher. Sooo...with Meg still in bed, I bundled the children up and took them, hoping that I wasn't making a major mistake by trying something like this with both of them. As it was, they behaved quite well! We've been taking Robin to stuff like that since before she could even talk. Ryan is generally pretty good in theaters and the like....so I lucked out! (And so did Meg. She had a good 3 1/2 hour break from children!)
For only the second day in my teaching career, we have the Wednesday before Thanksgiving off. Yes! It will give me a chance to catch up on some things here in the house as well as do a little cooking for Turkey Day. We will be celebrating the holiday with Nathan's folks again, who have been kind enough to invite us. We are trying to keep things as normal as possible for the children until there is a tad more adjustment to the divorce situation. Divorce is never a good thing, but we have all worked to maintain some semblance of normalcy for the children. I am proud of Meg and Nathan that they have been able to pull that off. More and more, the children seem to be able to "get it" that they have two homes, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
It has been a busy weekend if not necessarily fun. Colts won. That can't be all bad!
