Goals.

I've heard that in order to achieve a goal, the first step is to write it down. Now, while the efficacy of this advice can be debated, for the purposes of this livejournal entry, I will embrace it.

I will be a hermit in six years.

There.

*Deep Breath*

Much better.

This week I've had to social way too damn much. I've had measured, careful, pleasant conversations with several grown women, while striving to fulfill the task I have joyfully taken on of being a good homeschooling Mom.

I need to make nice with the mothers of kids, my kids want to hang out with. I did draw the line yesterday at entering the covered porch where ALL the mothers were gathered. I was happy to play the part of overprotective Mom, watching the kids swim, to keep me out of that potential hell.

In six years all my kids will be grown. I won't have to social for their sake anymore.

In six years I will be a hermit.
