I stayed home today, and helped Tadpole with her homework. Quiet, peaceful, rain outside, fire inside. Husband and son were out all day. Tadpole is a kind of house-mouse of a kid anyway. She's learning, slowly, how to not let homework pile up. She got her project done, and we went out for dinner together, just she and I, to a restaurant that the boys hate.

Me, Tadpole, the dog, a pile of homework, a pile of laundry, and quiet.

It was a nice day. It's easier to help one with a homework project when the other one (who was done with his) isn't bopping in and out all day, essentially taunting his sister with his "I'm done with my homework" status.
