Once again

Well, my son left about 45 minutes ago. He'd come home for the weekend to attend his 10 year high school reunion. Between his being at the activities and my working, we didn't get to see much of each other. But the house still seems so empty now...

New Day!

Another beautiful day today. Fall-like, sunny, warm but not hot, breezy... perfect, in other words. :D  I was shocked when I went to write a check last night though - I was thinking it was around the 20th! I really need to pay more attention to the real world...

But today I've finally caught up on all the sleep I needed, and even though I have to work tonight, the idea isn't grinding me down. I've got several things to get done and I'm looking forward to the activity - definitely a sign I'm back on top of things. :D

Have decided to rethink the title of my original story - had some discussions about titles on some of the writing forums I'm on, and I decided that since I'm not really enthralled with the current working title, I need to find something that I like as much as the story itself. Otherwise it's going to be that little fly buzzing around my head every time I work on the damn thing :p

And my son called last night - was so good to hear his voice again. Was waxing a bit nostalgic the last few days, with fall coming, and the back to school sales, etc. I still remember his first day of school...

Back to 'normal', whatever that is...

My son and brother left about an hour ago for the airport.

The house seems very, very empty now.

And it's cold, and rainy, and matches my mood perfectly.

I have to work tonight, and then again Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Just adds to my general feeling of wanting to go to bed and stay there. For a long, long time.

Motherhood isn't fair. You have your kids for 18 years and then suddenly you're supposed to let go and find a new life.

Not fair at all...

Christmas 2009



Just some random pix - Fang was quite leery of John when he first arrived - then he found out it was another person to rub his chin so they became good buddies LOL
