Some Things To Look Forward To
The kids are all getting ready for their summer trips with their dad/stepmom or mom/stepdad. Ok, I am getting them ready, either way, we are in the throes of packing/organizing, seeing who is missing what and whether everyone has a decent amount of underwear. The usual.
It's bittersweet. While it is nice to be a childless couple for a few weeks, I find that once they are gone, I miss them all terribly.
I'll be accompanying Steve on a business trip for a few days next week. (Hey Jamie, want to attempt to do lunch on Tuesday?) That'll keep my mind off of their absence. Kinda like a vacation, for me. I think I'll take War and Peace with me and have another stab at it. It's been mocking me for well over a year now, ever since I put it on the shelf after getting 100 pages in.
Also, I'm kinda looking forward to grocery shopping. For a change, I'll be buying things I like. I'm totally going crazy and buying a high fiber cereal. I'm all about living on the edge when the kids are gone. I'm also going to buy a bag of avocados and eat all of them. Usually I buy strawberries, apples, bananas, carrots. Nope, I'm going for the avocados. I might even go crazy and buy some mangos. I'm totally going to live it up. I might even make a whole meal out of vegetables that the kids hate.
Steve is going to take a week off too. Not sure what we are going to do. I think a bit of home improving, or home upkeep, whatever you want to call it. I tell ya, I turn my back for a season and everything seems to be going to pot!
Oh, and to really have some fun while they are gone, I scheduled my yearly appointment. The one just for women.
It's going to be one wild time!
