Yikes! I'm home alone! Well, sort of. Yumi and the birds are with me, but my children went over to a cousin's house to hang out and drool over his X-box.
Why is it I dream of having the place to myself, yet when that comes true, I freeze, not knowing how to best enjoy it?
Wait....let me go put on my music and grab a Dandy Blend Latte.
I should be cleaning and packing for our Minnesota trip, but that's no fun. I should be re-drafting training documents for work, but I'm not feeling it.
Instead, I'd rather sit here, by the breezy window and let my thoughts wander.
Last night I had to ask a little girl's parents to not allow her to dance and jump in the windowsill. You would think that would be a no brainer. She was dancing and jumping in the window like it was a stage. They had actually moved a chair so she could climb up into the window to perform. They completely failed to see the danger in allowing your child to jump inches from a glass window. Sometimes I feel like I'm surrounded by morons. The little diva threw a temper tantrum, and I received dirty looks from her parents. Of course you know if this child would have fallen through the window, we would have been sued.
Got my feet wonderfully muddy this morning, picking cucumbers for my mommy. She wants to make "pick-a-lily" (don't know how to spell it but that's how it sounds.) I'm not a fan of relish, but I do love farm fields. I was very grateful the farmer allowed me to self pick and even more surprised when he wouldn't take any money for the cucumbers. He also invited me to pick all the Romas I wanted no charge, but I told him I was waiting for ours to ripen. I hope I don't regret that decision. A part of me wanted to pick them though just to bring to a food pantry somewhere. I can't believe how much food is wasted not even harvested!
Made my Mamma Jama Boob Squish appointment. I'm just a little overdue. The death of a home schooling mom I knew pushed me to pick up the phone. She lost her battle with breast cancer and my heart is breaking for her two children who must go on without her now.
Parents shouldn't have to leave their children until those children are old and grown themselves. Not that there is ever a good time to lose a parent, but it seems so unfair she was called to heaven before her children were ready to be without her. So please bring those cold metal plates down on me and pinch away. I'd rather have a head start if I ever have to run the cancer race.
Better get moving. Maybe its the tunes or the fact I just realized, I could be dancing around like a crazy lady since no one is home to see me! :)

Alone time used to be rare here + when I got it I didn't know what to do with myself either. lol Now Chad is hardly home in the summer. Always out with friends. And I have learned to enjoy my alone time. Hope you enjoyed yours. Have a great day!
I know what you mean about not knowing what to do when finally alone in the house.....I found that out when the kids all grew up and left...I used to complain about the screaming and fighting between the 3 girls but when they were gone I really missed it....huh? did I just say that?...lol. Just like today being old and retired....the girls have a life of their own and kids...well two do and one has a dog...but they tend to do their own thing and forget mom....oh well they will be old someday too and wish their kids would come by for a visit or call and say "hi mom...I missed you today and love you"....sigh! Enjoy your peace and quiet while you can right now when they are young...and yes for sure dance like you never danced before and enjoy your day.
I hope you had a wonderful day full of Dawn time.
It is sad when a parent dies, especially a mom when there are still children in the home . A local homeschooling mom here is battling cancer a second time, she was in remission for quite a few years but it has spread now and her prognosis isn't great. She is receiving chemo but it is going to be a long battle, one I hope she wins.
Hope you danced the day away!! Sorry about your friend who lost her battle with cancer. Always sad. Glad you made that appointment! It isn't quite so bad, now that our clinic has digital equipment. Still ain't fun, though. Hugs!
Hope you enjoyed the kidless day. I could say I wish I would , but I have noticed that I get all "what to do first, oh I gotta hurry before they get back" feeling ... lol.
Me no likey the booobiiieee squeeze ... :O(
I won't know what to do with myself either when Louie goes to school next week.
If you don't have any caffine for a week before your squish appointment it won't be as bad.
