"I am trying to hold in one steady glance / all the parts of my life." — Adrienne Rich, from the poem "Toward the Solstice"

Aaaaaand…we’re off!

January 5, 2009

Here we go again. The boys went back to school today. Grandma got back from California last night. Jeff and I are both back at work today (after taking alternate days off through the holidays, in Grandma’s absence). And we just found out yesterday that the boys’ SportZone basketball team (which they’ll both be playing on together this session, for the first time) has a game tomorrow evening at 6. Nope, no chance to practice before the first game. And on top of that, Jeff has to go to the YMCA coaches’ meeting at the same time, so will miss some or all of the game.

Yeah, I’m tired just thinking about it.

At my mom’s funeral service, as I was getting a sympathetic hug from my great-aunt Joyce, I heard her ask close by my ear, “Are you on Facebook?” I avoided joining Facebook for a really long time, for many reasons. One, I have a MySpace account, but I hardly ever…
