I know that my wife nearly went nuts last year when she was alone for the first time all day long. I really felt very sorry for her; we had always intended that she’d be finished with school and starting her career just as the babies were both starting school. Unfortunately, life happens and she ended up a year behind (two grade school years), so now my youngest is in first grade and my wife is just now starting to work (she’s studying to be a teacher).
Anyway, I feel for you. Use the time to your advantage, though. I could do so much if I didn’t have to come to work! Of course, I might feel differently if I actually wasn’t at work.
You sound like you have LOTS going on!
I’m looking forward to school starting. My daughter will be in 1st grade this year, and the 2 boys are going into pre-school.It will be the 1st time in a long time, that I will have some time to myself. Not exactly sure what I’m going to do with it! The last few years, devoting all my time to them, I have almost forgotten the things I enjoy doing, and all the stuff I said I would always like to do. I’m sure I’ll find something though!
Glad you’re doing good.
I’m well, just getting ready for the new semester to start in a couple of weeks, doing some research for a book I’m writing, and trying to do my day job when time allows;). I hear you about this site — I’ve tried to leave it alone a little. Of course, at work I just kind of leave it on in the background, so it really doesn’t stop me from doing anything except for the few moments I spend typing every so often (I type pretty fast). I’ve tried to stay away when I’m at home; I don’t think it’s fair to the wife and kids that I’d lock myself in the computer room in the evenings after not seeing them all day.
My husband has an aunt that lives in St Louis, she’s kind of scary looking. She once won the old ladies pagent kind of thing, where she was like Mrs St Louis or something.
Her son is a Mascot - was for the Cardinals, but now is for the Royals.
Well, have fun with your brother.
Right now, we are living above the grandparents garage, until the house we’re building is finished .. this place is depressing .. I think that’s what my problem is… oh well - happy days!
This shout thing really sucks. I’m always just talking to myself. Anyway, things are alright — I’m ready for the weekend, though. My brother’s coming to see me, and that always makes me really happy!
Thanks.
Good thing about talking on line in a message board like this is you can get the timing just right, you don’t have to worry about interrupting someone.
