This week, my youngest child is with her Nanny (the goat is silent).
I only said that because it is a funny play on words ~ and funny.
I have no feelings of ill-will against her father.
I also have no choice in this whole visitation arrangement per the state of Georgia.
So I have chosen to embrace the positive notes in this otherwise tone-deaf arrangement.
Before the divorce, I never had this much help with the children.
I couldn't be gone for an hour without the phone ringing, wanting to know how much longer I planned to be gone. It was understood that if I left the house, the girls and possibly 3/4 of the crew were to ride along, too. Especially during football and golf season.
Now a court has ordered the father of my children to take responsibility for entire weekends at a time so that I may finally attend to my writing. I've been given a whole new blank book, this time, to write myself as I truly am.
Today, it was the simple enjoyment of sleeping in, writing over coffee and surrounded by my favorite books that formed a line.

Venturing out into the rain to take care of a friend's dog and planning for my job in the fall.
...I might just make it after all...
