Yesterday was spent rather quietly as my oldest little person attended take-your-kid-to-work day with his father. I bonded with the girls. I also tried to log as much of his work as I could from the past month, but it is so freaking boring. I am glad I am not any sort of data entry person. I missed him. It was the first time he had been away from me in a very long time. I think it was very good for him though. He needed some interaction with other children as well as some bonding time with his dad.

At any rate, he had a grand time. He was among approximately fifty children. There was a tour by "the leader" of the company that included the roof of the building (he said something about that being part of a dream the leader had so he took them up there). There were lots of games and sugar. There was even a clown who taught them how to make their own balloon animals. He went out to lunch alone with his dad. Then later in the afternoon he hung out in his dad's office and played games on the computer. He was very wired when he got home.

I spent the afternoon thinking about how much I really want to get out of here for awhile. I need some wide open spaces. The problem isn't coming up with the money or the time. The problem is that it isn't part of the "big picture" right now. It probably won't even be an option for at least another year and a half. It is going to be a very long wait. I hope I find some patience.
