The kids have been in school now for 2 whole weeks. My baby is finally in school all day. And it's taken me that long to bring myself to taking a day off. What's more...it's taken me that long to stay home...alone. A friend of mine called today and asked me how it felt. After a second of thought and a bit longer of a pause, I answered, "weird". Not the expected answer I was told. Not "peaceful", "nice", or "relaxing"...because, it wasn't. Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm sure it will be after I get used to it. And I'm sure that won't take too incredibly long. But for 10 years now I have had littlin's running around under foot. 10 whole years. It's what I know. So, to be at my house all day without them around, it's a weird thing.
Just think- the opposite will be happening for me. Our house will go from a quiet one to a crying baby in a few weeks- pretty crazy. Say hi to everyone

littlins? south too long...must move north...any north...chittlins...littlins...give the littlins some loves and kisses! don't feel bad, I can't even make it through one night of Sarah having a sleepover somewhere without whining that I miss my girl. I was even a bit lost when Bethany left for the weekend last.
