Sunshine

This has become Vaughn's favorite word. Every time we walk in it or see it from across the street (ah, those Victorian row houses) she says, "Sunshine!" Of course now that we've got it, it's NCAA tournament time, and all I want to do is sit at home and watch basketball. Oh, the irony. Also, I'm suddenly going to have to start watering the plants in the back garden if I don't want them to die before the landlords move back in. So my SAD is gone but my responsibilities are dramatically changed. Dagnabbit. Now I'm being a horrible mom so that I can indulge my one lasting craving from my Old Life.

But at this very moment I'm letting Vaughn watch Nemo for the zillionth time during the first half of the first two games. So I'm sacrificing, right?
