They're Gone

My kids started back to school today. They've been home a month. I can't believe Christmas was only one month ago!

The house was quiet. I got most the laundry done, and I'd finish it today if I didn't keep getting distracted. I have till midnight, right?! Patch helped me clean the nasty bathrooms. I ran an errand and got in a work out.

I'm feelin' pretty good about now...

...and then I realize that they're back at school and what that ultimately means.

It means no instant babysitter for Patch. No one to distract him while I get other things done, no one to make him lunch and sit with him while he eats it. It also means I'm back at the school. I'm already signed up for three days this week, how did that happen?

I've already looked at the calendar, at the end of March they're off again. March. Isn't that like 6 weeks away? Really, since they're not off until the end it's more like 9, but still.

I can't decide if that's too soon or not soon enough. That's love for you.
