I'm not complaining - they're away doing a survival scout camp for a week, and are bound to having a fabulous time.
But still, it's very strange to have so much time to do whatever I want.
It's not going to be a slack week. I am working on the upstairs den while they are away, and that is taking forever. I have five full manuscripts to read and report on by Thursday, and have a round of developmental edits to start on a new book by one of my favourite authors to work with.
I also have my own almost-not-quite-finalized book of poetry to finish up as well for the editorial eye that needs to be cast over it before the end of the summer. Not to mention a Critical Thinking course to prep and and a brand new Introductory Writing course to plan for September when I return to teaching.
Not having the kids around certainly ups my productivity.
But I'll miss this. Hanging out with them in the mornings. Before the day really gets going.

Hey - what about meeting me for lunch in Montreal sometime? That could be a fun way to keep from missing the kids...
I'm only half joking - I might actually be making it to your neck of the woods sometime in the next couple weeks. I'll call. Be great to see you.
