Home Alone!!

Well, the kids just drove off with my Dad. I am home alone! I don't know whether to be happy or sad. Of course I am happy -- I get 3 "vacation" days!! How often does that happen for a stay at home mom?! But I am sad to see my kids go. I miss them already. It is entirely too quiet in this house. It is funny how noisy and chaotic this house is with Isaac and Julia around. That noise level is completely normal to me. This silence is not! And yes, I shed a few tears when they left but didn't let them see me cry. No need for their sappy Mom to ruin their adventure with Granddaddy.
