Plans

AlleyFest is over. The first week of my summer vacation is over. I’ve got heat rash and I’m bone tired, but I think I’m going to make it. Next week is a workshop that is all but useless to me and a conference that is directly in line with what I teach. I figure I’ll get lots drawn/doodled on Tuesday and hopefully will have lots of useful notes for the rest of the week.

After this week, I’ll be pretty much free to come and go with the boy during the day as I need and want. We are going to do some cool stuff—bowling, putt putt, maybe a movie or two. All kinds of cool stuff. I’m planning on actually getting around to teaching him how to sew in the next few weeks. I see us doing some art—painting, drawing, shrinky-dinkying, whatever. The library is going to be doing a ton of stuff, so I hope to go see some of that.

None of this, of course, mentions the fun stuff I want us to do as a family unit—visits to the zoo, picnics, park visits. We want to go to the drive in movie theater in Tyler (and not the creepy, pervy adult theater but the family friendly one that does double features of kids’ shows).

I think, now that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, that this is going to be a very good summer.
