Good morning from this teenager who screamed last night, “I JUST WANT TO BE ALONE,” when I scooped him up to give him a smush.

Yes, that’s correct.

Well, actually, not really ‘good morning’ from him. Because he’s still sleeping.

WOOHOO.

I LOVE when he stays asleep after I’ve left the bed.

Sometimes I wanna flick Ankur away from him when he tries to give him a goodbye kiss. Because, obviously, it’s nice that he wants to say goodbye to him. But, more often than not, it ends up waking him up and then Ankur gets to leave for the day and I get to jump right into the whirlwind of Ishu.

(Ankur’s going to read this and say, “NO, it doesn’t.” But I’d like to refute that right here and right now. Yes it does).

Anyway, I have been awake now for 12 minutes and he’s still sleeping. What a win.

This morning, we’re headed to the farmer’s market and the park with Jenn and Max. Since Ishu starts school next week, it’ll be the last week we get to do this. It’s been so nice spending the summer with these two.

Other than that, the updates are that work has been going well (given that I’m also mommying at the same time), I just finished this book (<—highly recommend. It’s a story about addiction and family and police work), I’ve started reading this book, and I just uploaded my third library card (Chicago Public Lib!) to my Libby app. So I have 42 books on loan and working my way through the 7 I’ve borrowed. Ha.

It’s like the teenager Divya has revived. The one who read through an entire book a day. Obviously, as a mother to her very own two-nager, I’m not reading through a book a day. But I’ll take what I can get.

And now he awakes.

It’s my cue to sign off.

Happy Tuesday everyone!
