20 April 2010

in the interests of honesty

The sunny beach photos are true of course, but so is this:
life is a bit strained at present.

Have been Solo Parent for 3+ weeks now, due to partner's crazy April work schedule, which means that even when he's here, he's not Here, you know?

While I don't mind that, the tension in the house has been palpable for a while now, and it's just not fun. I'm ready for life to swing the other way - towards easier. To match all that sunshine, please.

And the laughter from little one, who is suddenly signing like a fiend and singing and dancing, generally being the light of the universe through any and all darkness.

(Just as I wrote that, she growled like a tiger and then laughed. Proof of hope.)
