.....??????.....one word.....quiet..
Here's another.....nice.
Seriously, with the girls gone and Con home for a couple of days I feel as if I've had a vision into the future: life with just me and him(that would be my wonderful husband, Con) and I gotta tell ya, it was nice.
I kept the house clean, the dishes got done, cooking was a BREEZE!!!!
I had only me to think about and only me to get motivated.
Nice.
I finished some projects that had been sitting for months and months(my "knitted" purse that I'll be sporting next time you see me).
You know what felt the best though, was just knowing that the girls were doing work for the Lord and it felt good to me to wonder about them spiritually; how was God using them this week and were they being lights in a dark world?, things like that, not just worrying for the sake of worrying, ya know what I mean? I wasn't worried about them, I was just wondering about them.
There's a difference.
It felt as if we let them go a little bit, and guess what? it didn't hurt a bit.
Life after kids: huh...???
I'm getting a little glimpse of it.
I'll be gone next week, then they will be gone to camp, them we'll be home for a week, then the girls go off with their grandparents for 10 days, then I'm having a girlie trip with Kimberly for 3 days.
Humpfff.....??????
It's all good.

Wow! Sounds like a nice week. I am not quite at the point of letting Grace out of my sight for more than an occasional over nighter... OK, make that 4 over nighters in the past 3 years, so it is probably even less than occasional... ;) But I do look forward to the day when I can wonder how God is using her and how He is speaking to her heart. What a truly thrilling thought! Can't wait to see the purse! ;)
Sounds like you got a lot done. Randi will be gone to girls camp for the first time! I am so nervous because she has never been away that long. I know she will have a great time I think you will be there? Have a great time.
Sounds like a nice summer vacation for everyone!
sounds great! I think it's too far off for me to think about my house being empty since the twins are only starting 1st grade, BUT... my house will be empty for about 6 hours each day...hmmm...maybe my house will be all clean and quiet...momentarily.
Your purse looks great by the way!

I'm looking forward to seeing your purse. I enjoyed my days off too while the kids were gone, and Scott and I enjoyed some time together which we haven't had in a long time...years??
I missed my kids though! :) I'm glad it's not quite time to be an empty-nester.
