Wednesdays are our busy day. We get up in the morning and go swimming then kill an hour and go to our parent/tot class at Waldorf. This morning started out funky when I got a call from a person who in the gray line between "Friend" and "acquaintenance-friend". This particular person has repeatedly said she'd phone and hasn't and this time I mentioned that I felt slighted by her lack of courtesy. I just hate confrontations like that but I felt that honesty was the best route to healing the friction that I felt. It didn't go well - the timing was off - I was running out the door for swimming but we talked later this afternoon and were able to really understand where we were both at and bridge the gap. That was nice. Sometimes in the online world I think I must be insane - I read something one way. Something that I think *clearly* insinuates one thing and the person will come back and say "Oh no... " I think "Geez, I'm horrible at communicating." What I realize, however, is this medium sucks for really developing a level of communication. You just cannot deny the value of tone and fluctuation of the human voice.

Anyway, the day ended with a nice family dinner and anticipation of the play structure going to be delivered tomorrow to our backyard.
