This is it. I'm all alone. Just me and the dog, for 24 hours. The most beloved and highly anticipated day of the year is finally here. The father and sons campout. Some people feel bad that I don't have any girls. Those women have kids home with them right now. Not me, I'm just sitting here listening to . . . what's that? Silence.
I'm going to take some time to do what I want to do. I'm going to sleep in tomorrow. I'm going out to dinner tonight, and I'm not going to Mc Donalds. I'm going to go grocery shopping all by myself and try to buy enough stuff to last me for 2 weeks so I I can have 2 weeks that I don't have to take the kids to the store with me. I am going to go buy new sandals, because I can never really take the time to try on shoes when I have two kids running wild around the store. I'll also do some painting which is not quite as fun, but I will do it with out worrying that little hands will get in the paint and then do who know what. This is it. I'm all alone. And I'm as happy as can be.

I can totally relate! Kierstin and I relish that time too and she appreciates being the only girl; especially at this time of year. Although, the last 2 years, she's had other plans so I've had time to enjoy the silence!
