I am writing and my house is empty. Do you realize how hard it is for me to get half of my family out of my house for any significant period of time and have three days without them here? Don't get me wrong; I love my family, would do anything (and do!) for them, but to be able to have an empty house, to have time to sit, think, read, write, EAT ANYTHING I WANT, do ANYTHING I WANT... well now, that's precious and simply hard to get these days.
Hubbie SJ took son SB with four other 14 year old boys to Asheville on this cold, wintry day to hike, build bonfires, fish, shoot skeet, and stay cold for 3 days! Sounds like what it was like living as a pioneer woman to me... not very much fun. Youngest daughter, MCB, left at 6:30 a.m. with a youth group ski trip to W. VA... again, snowy, windy, freezing, .... on a bus full of teenage kids. Sounds like loads of fun... NOT!
Me? I'm sitting in a warm house, about to make a cappucino with my new Nespresso Citiz, with the blustery cold wind swirling outside, typing away, happy to be sharing my enthusiastic "YIPEE" with other moms who might also have the good fortune to have some respite from the fam... Here's to a New Year, y'all, and here's to Peace in the house, for a while!
