I've intentionally been VERY busy over the past 6.5 weeks. I've had FRG commitments, kids sleep overs, wine on the porch with neighbors, shopping, anything just to keep my mind off if. Tonight was the first night - really, the first night in 6.5 weeks that I have had nothing to do. Nothing, nada, ZIP! My friends are MIA. They must be sick of me asking them to hang. They have all disappeared. The neighborhood is bare. Even Boy 1's girlfriend is gone...that's weird, she is always here. I was WAY excited when Boy 1 wanted to rearrange his room and I was TOTALLY on board, BUT THEN he told me he wanted to do it BY HIMSELF. I thought I gave one of the best sales pitches of my life, telling him how good I was at it...."I've done this a million times, I can help, I'm REALLY good at this!" He said to me...."I know you are Mom, but how am I ever going to learn if you always do it for me"? REALLY.......he learns this lesson NOW, of all days, he learns it NOW?!?!
Bah-humbug.....here I am sitting in my house alone....all the kid are asleep....I'm reconsidering bedtime, maybe they shouldn't go to be so early......
