Good morning! The last week has been a busy one, and I have
considered changing the name of my blog to Life As An
Empty-Nester.
I went into the New Year making the adjustment - Christmas was too busy
to notice much that there were no longer kids in the house - and so, by
January 2, I was feeling kind of lost. What do I do now?
And so, I did laundry. Oddly enough, everything is clean...I
washed dishes. Oddly enough, there is not a mountain of
them. I cooked. Oddly enough, Spike and You were very happy
with the leftovers - a bounty they had never had before.
The couch is clear - no clothes draped all over it. The counters
are spotless, the fridge is clean, and yesterday, because there was
little else to do, I engaged in some heavy duty cleaning. It felt
like spring, so...why the heck not. I'm talking walls.
Baseboards. And I know you find all this absolutely fascinating
and I should just type on and on about the tiny details of my household
adventures, but...you know what i found out...
1. My son was a real slob when he lived here, and he had more clothing than the men's department at Belk's.
2. I'm way out of shape. There is not a muscle in my body
that isn't screaming - you dumb broadaway! you haven't used us
since you left the Real Prison, and suddenly you jump into
action. You deserve to hurt!
Must be time to join a gym.

You might just get to liking it and then someone may want to move back in. Paula
I sometimes think I'd give just about anything to have NO laundry, NO dishes, a house that doesn't constantly get messed up, etc. But lately, I have to admit that I've been dreading the day that they leave home! Andrew will be a Senior in high school next year, so it's getting closer. At least your Empty Nest is a CLEAN empty nest! lol
