Happy New Year!

It's been a while but I'm back - at least for the moment. I have a full day ahead of me with no car to go anywhere so I am very excited. The kiddos are all moving back to their nests - I kept waiting for them to come home last night and they never did so while sad for the moment it is reality. Goal for the day: Get the Christmas cards out hehe or should I call them New Years.

Love you guys - MOM

all alone & loving it

So I pop onto my xanga to write something profound and there are my three children laughing and having fun - thanks Nen.  guess I better change the font color.

I find myself on my own for 3 whole days - wow - don't even know when this ever happened before in my own house. With Ernesto making his way up the coast my travel plans were canceled and so what to do... Yesterday was blob day...long lunch with Lisa at Red Rock - until the rain really started getting bad, then a slooooooooooow trek home with all the idiots who can't drive to save their lives in any weather. I stopped and picked up 5 movies and proceeded to watch three and do a scrapbook start to finish - the new picfolio album - 160 pictures all from the beach, luvin it.

Then today I felt ambitous and decided to have a cooking day so we could eat real meals during volleyball season. I wasa little too ambitious and just now finished after 9 hours of cooking, except for 1 long 45 minute with the dog since it stopped raining and we both needed to get out of the house. So what's for dinner you might ask..I did two pans Italian sausage with noodles, one large pan which will feed us 3 times or perhaps some company of chickenetti, beef enchiladas, greek chicken sandwiches, chicken bundles (puff pasty), taco bake (2), lots of roasted carrots, a crock pot of pea soup, 2 ham loafs, a potato casserole to go with the ham loaf, marinated fajita meat, and beef steak marinated and ready for something. Now if only I had the ambition to bake too but I think not at this point.

Hmm - what shall I do with my last alone day? This may never happen again!

even the ants can't get me down

all is as it should be

The world feels right today. Mikey is on his way home. Nen is home and baking up a storm. KK is doing her usual thing...and what exactly is that? We are getting ready for Mike's arrival as if the prince were coming...and he is. I love it when all of my kiddos are back in the nest and all is right with the world. It even makes me happy to walk two dogs in the morning - even the crazy lady.

well there is still too much to do and too little time to do it. It is going to be a busy weekend so off this silly computer - now

I'm back

hmmm, why do I find myself here. well for one thing it is Friday evening and no one is home but me and the Z - who just puked on the stairs. We just got back from our evening romp. He chased the bunny and was bummed he missed it again - silly dog.

So tomorrow is the big day - we finally find out when mikey comes home for leave. Please please let it be before I leave for PBU and volleyball camp. So not fair!

I have never been on my own this long before in my whole married life - unless of course I was out on some trip. John and Kayla can not come home soon enough. I am not the loner I once thought I was.

so here is what I am thinking about - in case anyone cares.............. volleyball - do I really have to coach again this year? scrapbooking - get your butt in gear woman, nenny leaving again so soon - didn't she just get home?, what it would it be like to move the time clock back 10 years and do it again - oh gosh no! silly random thought. where is my motivation to get back in the ww playing field - ugh! and countless other small random thoughts.

well that should bore you all to tears. the creative juices are just not flowing. think i'll go make some eggs for supper.
