Sometimes Real Life Intrudes

Next week Kevin goes back to work after spending 4 weeks at home taking care of me and Angie. I’m going to miss him and the insular lifestyle we’ve been leading. When we got home from the hospital, for two weeks I went unplugged because I didn’t feel like talking to anyone. All I did was coo at the baby, pop painkillers, and reread the last three books in the Harry Potter series. The only emails I sent were to announce Angie’s birth, and the only electronic entertainment I engaged in was watching the first Harry Potter movie with my mom. (I got her hooked on the Chinese translations of books 1-4. Still have to get her books 5-7.)
(Two weeks in I checked my work email for the first time. It took me *all day* to answer the messages that had piled up. Sigh.)
Alex and Ana’s last day of school and daycare is a little over 2 weeks away. Then they’ll spend the entire summer home with me. And with few exceptions we will most certainly be home that whole time because I won’t be bottle training Angie until right before she starts daycare. Until then the kids and I get to spend almost 3 months in our own Never Never Land.
(Except when I’m checking my work email.
