June 16

I feel like I'm in flux, transitioning to something new, but it's an illusion. Really, there's no evolution happening. I just feel caught midway, because I'm back from a trip, and the kids get out of school in the next few days. But for me, there's a summer of hard work looming ahead, while Lauren's in art camp and who knows what Ian will be doing.

I wish I were facing more of an evolution, a growing into something new. A few days spent on the lush east coast, and a few more spent immersed in art, have left me wanting something more than 'more of the same old same old.' The long commute is starting to get to me. I haven't seen a dolphin for weeks. I need to shake things up. Or something!
