This week is Trip Week for Nanjing International School. My son is spending Monday through Friday camping on a beach outside of Hong K ong proper. They are tent camping and had to hike into the site carrying all their supplies for the week. The day activities are to include: kayaking, snorkeling, biking, hiking, etc.
So what is a mother to do….
This week I have spent some time with a couple other childless
mothers. We have wandered around Nanjing aimlessly. It is a bit weird knowing that you don’t need to be home in the afternoon to take care of the family. Wine for lunch, why not? Cosmo’s for dinner, why not?
I am on day four (Thursday) and I want my kid to come home. I am bored with the wandering, I am bored with the lack of schedule. Mind you, I have greatly enjoyed this week but enough, I want my abnormal normal back.
