I am sitting in bumper-to-bumper third-world drive-however-you-want TRAFFIC. We left home about 15 minutes late this morning, so we pay for it now.
Chas is reading "A Wrinkle In Time" by Madeleine L'Engle. Sam is cackling and quoting from "The Phantom Tollbooth" by Norton Juster. Max is Etch a Sketching.
I need to get better organized. Lunchkits, breakfast, loading the crockpot, keeping the car looking half decent, not yelling "just GET IN THE CAR ALREADY!", and staying sane. Any clues? Hints? The boys have already said that they will clean the car this afternoon, as it is still splattered with mud from our off-road jaunts.
Help! Help! Yesterday, I felt so organized!
This website was invented many years ago, when the author kept coming across interesting things in pockets whilst doing laundry. Like small, terrified reptiles. Blogging about raising children in the rainforest, moving them to the UK and watching them leave home one by one to have their own adventures has gradually been replaced by a return to grownup life for their mother, Nan Sheppard, who is an anthropologist, writer and public international law consultant.
