Thankfully, this weekend held nothing more taxing than an hour's worth of tutoring and a Sunday afternoon tea. Leaving me free to do non-homeschooly things like laundry, of which I am rather fond, and pottering around in my kitchen, making pumpkin soup, cornmeal and blueberry muffins, stewed fruit, coconut cake and copious cups of tea. Which is more like it, homeschooly things being neccessary but not like it for me at all.
When I say 'things' I don't mean the things that involve books or pencils or lessons or books or...well, books. I mean the things that involve Other People, who are perfectly nice, just people who don't yet belong to the select group ( more than one hand but less than two ) of Those who do not Exhaust. I think one of the Other People might belong someday, but we have so much conversation to make before we get there that it's enough to make an introvert like me cry into her tea. Luckily I am fortified by cake.
