I’ve been going to bed a lot earlier lately. So that means a lot less time on the computer dithering about. Which is good. One day I’ll spend my nights reading instead of just, less on the computer. But for now I’ve needed more sleep. I’ve been sleeping in bed with Roby and Abby instead of in the other room, the one I sleep in when I really need ot sleep. So, I haven’t been sleeping very well. The trade is likely worth it. I really enjoy even a rough night with Roby. Her little “papa, papa, papa...(yes?)...hi!” while totally insane, are awesome. 

I went on a men’s group retreat to a monastery last weekend. It was lovely. I realized I hadn’t told anyone my plans for the daycare, so I got to explain it. I was pleasantly surprised to find that my priest shares my pretty radical beliefs on childcare. 

I explained those plans to another fellow parishoner recently, someone who is sitll pretty radical, but not as much. Not quite as much. I had to temper my explanation. 

I understand, I said, why someone might not want to change virtually everything about their lives to accomodate an ultimate childcare solution for their youngin’. 
I was lying. 
Truly I do not understand why someone might not be motivated to change virtually everything about their life to accomodate an ultimate childhood for their youngin’. It seems necessary. 

Now, that might just be the overreaction of my particular stuff. Then again that particular stuff might just lend me a certain clarity that others lack. 

who knows?
