OUT ON A LIMB
WITH.-9ILL SMILeY
Maybe I'm just 'getting old -an
grouchy, but It seems to me Iiia
life around •our place gets mor
frantic and complicated with the
passing of each %year. I'm begin-
ning to look back with nostalgia
on the good old days when all the
kids did was scream all the time,
knock over their milk,' and keep
their 'diapers soaked.
* : *vim. *.:•N
From this distance, those days
had a tranquility about them that
makes me green with envy, We'd
bath the children and put them to
bed, looking and smelling like rose-
buds..We'd do the. dishes amiably.
Then we'd sit around and. read, or
chat, or play cribbage or chess.'
* >h
Oh, we weren't complete fuds.
We'd go to, the odd show, and get
together with friends a couple of
times a week. And I used to go
out to meetings quite often, in the
evening. But when I'd come home,
there would be the old Trouble 'n
Strife, with a big pot of tea and
some lovely homemade tarts from
the bakeshop: I'd try to tell her
about the bright things I'd said at
the meetings, while she told me
thebright things the kids had said
or done before bed. • * *
As I remember it, though, we
thought 'life was pretty strenuous
in' those days, and 'we could hardly
wait until the kids got a bit older.,
so we'd have more freedom; more
tinge -for relaxation -and recreation:
Looking back, I realize we were
up to our ears in gracious, simple
living, and didn't know it. Com-
pared to the continual conniption
fit that seems to constitute our
family life nowadays, we were as
peaceful as peas in a pod.

. Somewhere, at some crossing,
that idyllic existence went off the
tracks. Life at our house is now
a series of crises, each one as
nbisy and frenzied as the last one,
as exasperating and exhausting as
the next one.
_.• • *--.*_.:*
First crisis of the day is before
breakfast. Kim does her piano
practising early, starting at 7.30.
Her mother, just out of bed,'a real
martyr, and grouchy as a grisly;
supervises. Invariably, there are
harsh •words. I'm getting sick and
tired of being awakened by a tear-
stained kid, 'declaring that "Mum-
my's so mean!" ,
* *
Noonhour is sheer chats, just
one big crisis. The kids 'fight with
eac other The oh ents ht with
'each other. The kids fight with the
parents. Occasionally, when there's
a lull in hostilities, the . three of
them 'are merely all talking at
once, all talking excitedly and all'
talking --about something different,.
while '1 move silently about •the
kitchen, pouring glasses of milk,
,looking for the salt, and trying to
stay neutral.
* * •
Just the other day, we had a
d typical noonhour deal. Kim drop-
' ped a slice of peach on her fresh.
blouse. She reached for it, with
the hand• that held her' knife and
a big- gob of butter. The butter
'sc'ooted to . the .floor. . Getting .a
litfle excited, she bent to'go after
it, her chin hit her dish and the
rest of the peaches flipped. Trying
to save them, she knocked over a
glass of milk. Laugh? 1 thought
1'd cry.
* * *
When everything was squared
around, and the recriminations had
ceased, she went out to play. Three
es later, she was back in,
looking 'scared. She'd torn the
buckle: att strap off one of her
brand new itiOes. So I spent'•half
an hour •of lunchtime crawling
around in a big pile ot.leaves, look-
ing for a shoe buckle. Didn't find
it, sent' her off to school with a
last volley of threats, and went in
and let the Old Girl- out , of the
strait jacket.
* * 4'
Tuesday, Hugh was to catch the
bus at 4 p.m., to take . him to the
city, 20 miles away, for his music
lesson. 1 was out selling 'ads.' At
4.05 1 see this familiar -looking kid
wandering nonchalantly into the
bus' stop. That's my boy. I grab-
bed' him, borrowed a car, and we
took off after the bus. We hurtled
trying thet Catch rip. of city. He at 75, yes,, 75
it
two miles this side
'thought it was''8 dandy adventure.
1 lost an hour's work'on my busiest
day.
* * * ^ .
I don't' think I'm up to much
more. When I walk Into the house,
anything can confront ane. Maybe
`there are eight small children lying
on the floor, reading conics. That
means Kim is entertaining. Maybe
the record player is at full yolume,
• with, a soprano screeching an aria
from Carmen at window -breaking
pitch. That means Hugh is stand-
ing on his head on the livingroom
rug, doing his Yogi. ..
To compound confusion, the old
lady has taken unto herself some
piano pupils. Which means that
I'm going to have to• keep• the front
walk shovelled all winter, •so they
can get in. We used to make do
nicely, back in those dear; dead
days, with the path .the milkman
tromped through the snow, to the
side door.
