The Car Line


OK, so I was going to wait until tomorrow, but I had to vent about this car line thing! My children were always pretty fortunate to have bus service, or I was picking them up late from after school care, so until a couple of months ago, I had never experienced this phenomena called the car line.
To the school’s credit, they do run a tight ship, but it doesn’t matter if I am 10 minutes early or 30 minutes late, I am stuck sitting for a good 20 minutes. This has become my favorite time to text with my girlfriend, who is also typically stuck at about the same time, or I listen to All Things Considered on NPR, or read up on my mobile news.

Anyone have any good ideas or suggestions for me to share with the school. I really hate the car line!

Massage can't hurt my back any more than it already does, I guess."

The decision to join the Peace Corps and go to Mozambique has been a deeply personal one, that has elicited conflicting responses from friends and family. I would be lying if I said that I have not had second and third thoughts about this. I am leaving my life for 27 months, and at this point, I am down to the final stages.

Happy 46th Birthday to Me

I am 46 years old today. I'm celebrating my birthday from my home now in Xai-Xai, Mozambique. When I look back at my old birthday posts, it is always fascinating to see how things have changed year over year. For example, last year, I was celebrating my birthday during Mardi Gras in New Orleans, Louisiana. The year before, I celebrated with my darling Olaf  in Charleston, South Carolina. For my 43rd birthday, I was living in Key Largo, Florida .
