After dropping D3 at the Gathering Of The Clans on Grandfather Mountain yesterday I am all alone in the house until Sunday afternoon. I have not spent a night completely alone in more than 25 years (of course I'm not completely alone this time - the corgis are here). It is so blissfully quiet. The best part? I can clean a room and know when I return to that room it will still look the way it did when I left it!

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
Clean?
LOL! I'm pretending like I don't know the definition of that word right now...
Enjoy the peace and quiet. :D
Fridge and microwave clean. Whole house dusted.
Kids rooms cleaned (they are gone so it was done MY way :) - but of course that means I now have 6 extra loads of laundry to do - clothes from floors, beds stripped, towels retrieved from their rooms... Trash collected throughout house.
Making progress.
Now I am taking an ice cream break!
I hear you! My kids have been with grandparents for 3 weeks now - I will have a hard time re-adjusting when they return!
Ain't it grand?! Not that I'd want it to be this way always, but sure is a nice break. I'm wondering if I'd have time to paint a room or two that are badly in need....
Yeah, things are quiet once again here, though I find myself missing some of the commotion of our vacation. But I'm thankful that we pretty well cleaned house before we left. Nice not coming home to a dirty house and a sinkful of dirty dishes.
Drives my kids nuts, but I Will Not leave the house for a trip without everything being neat and at least reasonably clean. I hate coming home exhausted from a trip to a dirty house!
Just got an email from himself which reads:
Ich bin zum bet. Ist 23:00 schon.
He's such a German. And I've been married to him long enough to actually be able to decode that one.
