Here at Home (and Kayaking)

Well, here I am, at home, finally... After years of thinking that working for the man was what it's all about, I've come to the realization that there truly IS more to life. Everyone has been asking me what my plan is, and at this point I don't have a real solid one. I'm going to spend time in service and with Catherine, working the land, doing some painting (on the walls and on canvas), and if there is time I have some other miscellaneous home improvement projects I'd like to get to. I'll also be working some from home. That's pretty much my plan. If any of you other stay/work at home moms have some words of wisdom, please send them my way!

I actually got to go kayaking on Monday. My uncle, Dennis gave me a beautiful green touring kayak when we went to visit in March and I've been dying to take it out. Although it was Harpeth River, it was at least water; I just made sure to paddle quickly past the clusters of drunk rednecks overflowing from rented john boats and canoes. Aside from the fact that Monday was a holiday and I was not the only one with the idea, it was a great day for it. Ernie and Catherine got to enjoy some father/daughter bonding waiting for me at the pick up point (more drunk rednecks made for less than perfect fishing conditions). I'd like to float the Duck River sometime soon... I've heard there are good opportunities to observe wildlife (other than the red necked homo sapiens variety).
