New Years Eve

Things are getting a little loose around here in terms of freedoms for my sons.  Independence, here it comes.  Part of that is their advancing age, but the other part is they are taking advantage of us, but also of the slower days.  We had an extra five days that we didn’t expect when family was ill and we didn’t travel.  We have squandered away the time in excellent fashion, and I have been glad of it.  It felt like Christmas Eve was on a weekend, and I’ve been having Thursdays and Fridays ever since.  Today must be Saturday.  Friday will be Monday and I’ll expect the boys to go back to school.  So there will be extra surprise days off.  It’s been a nice time.
