This was the plan for tonight: Adam comes home early to put Pie to bed. I take Doodles to his first Track and Field class. We come home, Doodles goes to bed, Adam makes me a martini. I serve the lovely shrimp ceviche for our dinner, followed by some lovely chocolate chip cookies baked this afternoon.<\/p>\n
This is what happened: Doodles eagerly gets his homework done early and dinner eaten, only to get a call that Track and Field has been canceled because of inclement weather. I look out the weather. No inclement weather.\u00c2\u00a0 Adam comes home late and tries to solve my computer woes while I watch Wizards of Waverly Place<\/em> with my children who love the show, but are too scared to watch it alone. I read to Pie, as Adam runs to the Apple Store to try and get my failed hard drive, on the Mac I’m starting to loathe, replaced. Doodles comes looking for me, because he’s reading a biography of Harry Houdini<\/a>, and there’s a scary part in it where Houdini talks to the dead. So he’s hopping up and down, turning on lights, until finally he decides to re-read, for the third time in four days, Diary of a Wimpy Kid<\/em><\/a>, to put better thoughts in his head. Adam then calls from the Apple Store telling me they don’t have my hard drive in, but he can try another store or have them send me a new computer, but I’m going to lose all the data on my computer, including the fabulous pictures I’ve recently taken of my kids–and I’ve taken a lot (I do have all my writing backed up on disc, so I’m not too worried about that) and all that lovely paperwork I had generated for the school volunteer things I’ve been doing.<\/p>\n And my martini? Sitting unmade.\u00c2\u00a0 Olives in fridge. Vermouth and gin in the pantry. Glass, lonely and clean, pristine in the cabinet.<\/p>\n Last time I make plans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This was the plan for tonight: Adam comes home early to put Pie to bed.
