Our thermostat has this nifty little feature that when we go into an energy efficient mode, it shows a little leaf. I think it’s for temperatures above 72 in the summer and below 68 in the winter. I can unequivocally say that I have yet to see that leaf this winter. Although by this weekend the temps will be spring-like, which will just throw my body out of whack. Pick a season, folks, and stick with it.<\/p>\n
Sunday night my son wanted to stay up. “I’m going to watch Downton Abbey<\/em> with you guys!” he announced. <\/p>\n “You really want to see it?” I asked.<\/p>\n “Any TV is good,” he told us.<\/p>\n I forbade him from starting Downton Abbey<\/em> in the third season. So today, after school while Pie was at dance class, we Netflixed the first episode of season one. I will say, I now get all that entail crap that I found so hard to follow at first. What was up with me? It’s pretty simple stuff. <\/p>\n He watched the first episode. He was uncomfortable with kissing (both straight and gay, so at least I know it has nothing to do with his own burgeoning sexual preferences, and by “burgeoning,” I mean “nonexistent”), but seemed engaged. Yet, disappointingly, at the end, he declared it “kinda boring.” I was so looking forward to re-living seasons one and two with him, although I suppose the Turk dying in bed is best left unexplained to a 4th grader. Another touching mother-son experience lost.<\/p>\n In the meantime, 2013 is looking a lot like 2012. The girl won’t sleep. The boy is plotting plans too big for his britches. Adam is stressed. And my novel is not writing itself. Bummer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our thermostat has this nifty little feature that when we go into an energy efficient mode, it shows a little leaf.
