the end of good things...
Brent is gone. I dropped him off at harbour air just after 7 this morning. He has gone to California for some training for half a week. When he is gone, some things (like dinner and dinner deadlines) become so much more laid back for me. And I can watch all the chick flicks I want guilt free. I've been thinking about watching the twilight movies again. I've only seen the 2nd and 3rd once...It is even easier for me to keep the house clean when he is gone. Not because he is so messy but because I just spend more time cleaning when he isn't here because I'm bored and lonely. I don't know how single parents do it. Our home is incomplete. And with the kids going back to school tomorrow, life is feeling drab for me. I LOVED having 2 weeks for spring break. I adjusted so well that a 1 week break seems way too short. My life isn't even that hectic anymore--spring break used to just mean a break from scheduled busy lives to me. It is just so nice having the girls home. All 3 girls got along so well and did so much together. Every year at the start of spring break I have all these plans of what I'd like to get done during the break and we never get close. Always one of the things on my list is organizing the girls room...I guess I'm a little intimidated or just don't want to do it because it NEVER happens. Hardly any of my plans happen. Mostly we laze around eating lunch late and reading lots of Harry Potter. This year the kids were getting along so well, I just didn't want to interfere. But now it is over and tomorrow we are back to living with a schedule. Schedules, I know, can be a good thing. I know I would get a lot less done--but right now I'm feeling rather rebellious about it all. ramble ramble ramble...

I know what you mean. I spend more time cleaning when Kyle isn't around. You can tell when he's been home for a few days by the look of my house. Fill me in on any good chick flicks you may discover! I wish I was there to help you to not be lonely, and you in turn for me. (Even though Kyle's not in California, it still feels like he's never here)
life isn't even that hectic anymore----hmmm-----
Mom wants you to have a baby I think.
I do the same thing...when Ben's home the house gets messy and unorganized because I just want to hang out with him instead of work.
Maybe you need someone else to help you organize that room. The problem is, you're the one who always steps in for OTHER people in need of that type of help. You need another you. I'd help though if I lived there.
does mom have a blog? anywhoo, i love this new skin. and i wish i were more like you. the last thing i do when bored and lonely is clean. i'm more apt to sit like a bump on a log and stew.
As it was Sarah, I got sucked into reading new moon. That series is soo addictive to me! And consequently I never watched any movies. I did watch little women last night though.
mom: my life is not as hectic as when i was yw's or rs president and driving the girls to ballet all the time. do you really think my life is supposed to be like that? O geez i find myself having a little spare time. Guess i better have a baby so it can be more hectic and crazy...great reason to have a baby.
Bethany--you're right. I DO need help with that room! I've often thought if we had the financial means we should all yearly meet at someones house and do just that. Help them do what they can't seem to help themselves do. Although, I don't know if everyone would need it like I do...
And Laura after I get tired of emptily following my routines alone without brent I do just that--mope and sit around and this time i read new moon.
Hey, I just watched new moon. It was good.
holy moly. mom didn't even say anything about a baby! lol
