time stand still

actually, it's been the opposite today. i haven't been able to sit still for more than 10 minutes at a time today. busyness is such a mixed blessing. the day goes by fast, but the stress level goes up.

tonight is punkin's end of school program. she's supposed to sing some song from "annie." i asked her if she really wanted to go and she said no. that's cool with me. the last thing i want to do after a day like this is squeeze into a parent-infested auditorium where i won't be able to see anyway because everyone has their video cameras in my way, just to realize that my kid is in the back row looking bored. you know - like last year.
