They're Off
Everyone in the house but me is heading to Florida - Disney World in point of fact - today. A-, D-, their mother, and the rest of the Mt. Hebron Marching Unit are boarding buses for a long drive south on their annual spring band trip. They perform on Saturday. S- wanted to see the kids perform together in Disney World so she's going along as a chaperone. I don't particularly like (make that hate) Disney World so the expense and "opportunity" to see the kids in 2-minute walk-by in the Magic Kingdom didn't appeal to me. So I'll be living large and by myself for the next few days. Quite possibly the longest length of time I'll be by myself in my own house since 1983.

Now behave, and don't have any parties! Actually, enjoy your solitude. I'd like a little of that sometime.
Just me and a bag of Heath Bars.

One of the best Thanksgivings I ever had (believe it or not) was one where my mom went to Portland to be with my sibs up there, my son was also in Portland visiting a friend and mentor, and my daughter was in Washington. I had almost four days all to myself. It was heaven!! (But then I was a single mom living with my mom -- that might have had something to do with it...)
Enjoy your time alone and I'll bet you miss 'em before too long!
