I've had a couple of nice, quiet days in a row. Yesterday my neighbor very graciously offered, yes offered, to take my kids to the movies (we have that free movie Wednesday thing at our local AMC theater). Then she took them to lunch and let them play (yes, she's a fabulous neighbor!), so Miles and I had some one-on-one time from 9-1. Thank you Kimberly!!
Today I've sent my kids (not the baby, of course) to a little day camp at the local swim/gymnastics center. They needed to get out of the house, away from Miniclip.com (their favorite game website), and I was completely willing to pay for it. They'll have tons of fun, splash around a bit and come home around 3:30 completely pooped out, I suspect.
So I've been getting a little hint of what our Tuesdays and Thursdays will be like this school year. With only one kid at home those days, I'm planning a few morning naps here and there (for me and the baby), loads of laundry (bleh, can't get a break from that, unfortch), trips to the grocery store with only Miles in the cart, leisurely lunches of turkey sandwiches, mini Dr. Peppers and cold pickles (for me, not him), Miles sitting at my feet under the table while I eat and browse through a magazine, little walks to the park (once he's walking, that is), dance parties (Miles LOVES to dance), and then lots of quiet playtime on the floor.
Should be nice, but it's weird to have only one kid at home with me!
Speaking of weird, my husband is crazy.

sounds nice. your husband is a little crazy. it's true.
I'm right there with you. I'm not sure what I'll do with my T/Th's. My mom had the 2 big girls for a sleepover yesterday. It was weird. And L was really clingy because she missed them.
A new stage in life! I always like transitions like this. It makes me feel like we are progressing in life. Enjoy those Ts and Ths! The time will probably fly by.
hahahahaha, you and Neal are cracking me up lately. Let me know if your days end up being as relaxing as you hope, and if they are, come tell me what I was doing wrong! :-)
Sounds like Heaven!
Never thought I would say this, but, I love school.
Neal is crazy...I need some time to research in order to comment. Love that about him.
ginger, i don't think you're doing anything wrong if your school days aren't so relaxing. mine really are, though! promise! i've become more and more of a homebody the more kids i have, plus any leaving the house results in $$ spent. never good.
we just chill at home!
I have real empty nest thing going on this year; my 3-yr-old twins home with me most of the time while my "big kids" are at school, but they'll be in preschool T/Th 9-11:30 so I'll actually have a bit of time each week when I have to think of something to do! I don't think it will be hard to think of something...
FYI - in response - my kids can wear flipflops except on PE days. Our school is a "traditional" school but they just have the same dress code as the school district... which allows flips.
Do you know who I am? Was Ginny S*'s college roomie & childhood friend. I think my sis Kate has met you before; she's Amy S*'s age & we were in the same stake growing up.
Neal's funny; I'll have to comment sometime! Your blogs are so cute too; I check them from time to time!
You're very close -- I worked at the one over by Burger's Supreme (Brigham's Landing). Now it's a FedEx Kinko's! But that's where I met my hubs (working together) & I managed that store while he finished school -- lots of memories there, that's for sure!
I have certainly loved the time Oliver and I have had to spend together (although now he is really itching to go to school), but more times than not, I wonder what happened to my days!
i really enjoy "unfortch."
i am looking forward to my T/THs too!!! woo hoo for kids growing up!
