I was like an ass kicking homeschooler yesterday.

So we studied Greek Gods yesterday.
Like all day.
I am amazed at how much I learned or relearned.
I love myth and I am so happy to share it with the boys.
The silver age got me- to be a child for 100 years? oooo.
And the tale of Demeter.
And all about Eros.
And the Gorgons.
The tale of Achilles.
And all of it.
It's just so cool we get to blow our kid's minds with new information.
Blaise wants to see a hell hound and Finnian has worn a toga for 24 hours.

That's learning.

You never write the narrative of yr own sadness until the moment it happens.

I would have pulled bong hits today.
I would have drank hard liquor.
to forget

Today wasn't like any other day I have ever had.
I have never had to wake someone from slumber to deliver bad news like the news I gave today.
When you are younger than you even know you are and you are in love and most of yr problems can be solved in 24 short hours you don't look into the future and see heavy shit.
You just see much of the same.

You just forget to focus on the future and what will happen.
People tell you things and you look at others lives but it is never yr little life.

You never write the narrative of yr own sadness until the moment it happens.

Joe's father died last night.

It's like there is a giant hole in England now
in his town
in Joe's heart

And when I had to put my arms around him
to hold him and tell him
it was like he wasn't all there
like he had shrunk to the size of a boy
and even my strong strong arms
wrapped right around him
couldn't do enough
