New Year

Offspring the Second and Third commence the new school year today.  Much as Herself loves them (and Offspring the First), she is quite pleased to have a few hours alone in the house.  She will tidy up, do some work for Work, and perhaps continue forging her story.  Ah, blissful quiet.

If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers.
