Everyone goes back to school today. The boys are just as excited about that as you would imagine. Alice has been extra grumpy the last few days but I don’t think it’s related. Last night she wanted to sit with Mom on the couch, but Mom was painting so I sat there instead, leading to Alice crying “move away, Daddy!” until she passed out, saying it slower and moanier until she just trailed off. After that kind of abuse, going back to school should seem like a relief.
