This week the girls and I had a chance to spend a whole week at home together without out dad and big brother. I has been a really nice week. I has also been a very different week. It got me thinking that I should write a list of all the good things about this week and all of the bad things about this week.
The Good ~The house has been very quite this week.~I have has a lot less laundry to do. I can't believe how much laundry two additional people add to the basket.~Making and cleaning up meals has been a breeze!~The grocery bill was very small this week. Again, I can't believe how much more food two additional people can go through.~There has been a lot less sibling bickering.~The house has been really easy to keep clean.~I got a bunch of old projects finished.~I have had a whole week to spend "girl time" with my girls. That has almost never happened since they were born, and it was the best part of the week!
The Bad ~The quiet house seems a little bit lonely without the boys here.~I have never spent a whole week away from my first born before. I really miss him.~I (and I think the girls too) miss both of them a lot and will be glad when they come back home.It has been a really nice week. I think it would be great to do this more often. This week really gave me a chance to spend quality time with my girls. It also gave the girls a chance to have my undivided attention. I devote so much time to my son's activities, it was a big relief this week to put all of that aside and just focus on the girls. And even though we had such a great week and we are not quite ready for it to end, we do miss the boys and we will be glad to see them come back home tomorrow.
Did I mention they will be bringing home a huge load of dirty laundry? Ugh...here we go again!
