The Long, Long Week
Husband is out of town, building a putting green in Yuma, Arizona. I have never had trouble sleeping when he's been gone before - so I am quite unhappy to report that I can't sleep - it's been three days and I have logged 12 total hours (okay, maybe 15 hours) of sleep. I am exhausted. Yesterday I skipped school and focused on son and his homework. He did his math assignment while I read my math book. We discovered that he and I are doing exactly the same math - basic algebra. He is grasping the concepts much better than I - he hasn't learned a different way - and he does not seem to have the 'control' issues I have acquired over the years. He is very willing to believe what the teacher tells him, while I challenge the rules of math. I learned that I can learn something new.
