monday morning and i have just a second before i need to be fixing breakfasts and lunches.

it was a nice weekend. after the kids got out of school on friday, and after we'd dropped off Keegan, the kids and i came home and grabbed our cloth bags and walked to the Windsor Park library. we've been going to this library even before we moved to this neighborhood 8 years ago. back then the library was a stressful place to be, but i wanted my kids to love books and learn to appreciate the library at an early age, so we wen. now it's just about the most relaxing place around for me. for all of us.

before we were even home they'd pulled out their books and were starting to indulge.

 

margaret had her last bball game friday evening. it was an exciting one. the last two were a bit of a letdown because after being ahead, they ended up losing in overtime. it looked like this one was going the same way, but they pulled out a win.

 playing sports at the East Communities Y is such fun. those mommas really get into cheering their babies on. and it feel good to be called sugar and honey and patted by big, padded hands. i really think i must be a little black inside. the truth is that i feel more comfortable with those people than with the upwardly mobile whites.

well, time is up. hopefully i'll get a chance to write some more last today.
