Away

Sorry that I haven't written much here this week. I am still committed to blogging. I am going to Washington, D.C. tomorrow for the American Psychological Association Convention, and I've been running around trying to get everything ready for the trip. I also didn't have Dermot in his math classes this week so that I didn't have to worry about taking him anywhere.

I know that you're not supposed to publicly admit this, but I am so very much looking forward to 3.5 days away from my child. That kid is "go go go" from 6:30 AM until 9:30 PM. And he talks while he's doing all his crazy stuff. I think that I am just going to enjoy the silence of my hotel room for a couple of nights. I'll be thrilled as punch to see him when I get back, but boy, am I looking forward to a vacation where I get to do adult, Lonna things. I'm going to go to art museums, which neither of my men like. I'm going to take my time and read the notes attached to each piece of art! Yay for me. The boys always rush me through museums. I like to dawdle and soak up everything that I can. I'm a details type of person. Dermot can go through an hour exhibit in 20 minutes, and be perfectly happy. More frightening is that he will have picked up on much of the exhibit, but that's a different story.

Anyway, I will continue writing about my own experiences next week. I don't have much left to write about Dermot until school starts back up on September 7th and/or I get the official report from the psychologist.
