bored and frustrated

The frigging door is 0.75" too low...I know why, in retrospect. Drawbacks to taking a kit and modifying it to fit a smaller space. Meanwhile, for the second week in a row, I'm home on weekend evenings while my friends around here are out enjoying themselves... sigh. Not as though they'd want me around, in any case... The kitchen project is a distraction, for now, so I won't have to think about other things. I can't use the drill and move the door upward at 1:30am, too much noise, so I think I'll just go to bed. Bleh.

I don't usually feel less visible as a parent, but definitely less free. I think my child-free friends simply have the expectation that I'm gonna work out childcare issues and show up if I want to be there. There isn't always the understanding of exactly how logistically difficult it is. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't one of your boys sortof high needs? That would make it a lot harder, I think.
