Sunday Sundae

I am sitting here. The house is quiet. I am the only one home. Even the dog has abandoned me and gone outside. I hear the laundry and the occasional computer crackling. I am realizing that this is a precursor to a different season of my life.
You see, this week, my daughter got her license. Now, she can drive without a supervisor. Today, she happily took my son to a friend's house and then dropped by a friend of hers and they went out for coffee. That was 5 hours ago. I think I am going to have to get a beeper - to signal her that it's Mom's turn to use the vehicle.

Although, come to think of it, I could milk it a little and get her to go out for groceries! Then I could stay home and have a bubble bath. Hmm....not a bad option!

I can see I am going to have to strategize this new development thoroughly .

wow, this brings back memories of days gone by. Those first few times the boys would drive off the car I would immediately wait for them to return. Good thing I adapted to this life change.

Hey, how is she going to pay for gas. You could really milk it by a tight exchange policy. Wow...the world awaits you!!!

I've been reading out loud to Bruce.

How are your nails--bitten to the quick?
It is somewhat freeing though--you have to admit!

Wouldn't have missed it for the world

Isn't he just the sweetest thing? Those dark eyes turned blue and the black hair turned blond, and too quickly, this little guy grew taller than his dad and me. Today, it is eighteen years since that bright, blue-skies February morning when he made his debut. It has been eighteen years of many wonderful memories. Very early, I heard him chuckle at his sister's antics. He used to crawl on his belly, pulling himself along with his elbows. And when he was learning how to eat solids, he would say "mmmmNummNumm" as he ate, making the heart of the cook soar (even though it came from a jar). There was the day that I told him that if he sat and watched too much t.v. he would become a couch potatoe. He switched the t.v. off, and proceeded to inform me with little hands outstretched, and sincerity in his voice, that if he played too much Lego, he would become a Lego blueberry. And the Christmas season when we were doing Advent activities. He was drawing a picture of the ...

I decided to make March my month to release the expired. So far...   I have thrown out all makeup with less than one drop in the bottom of the jar.    I finally dumped the cauliflower in cheeze sauce I made for Christmas dinner.      I threw out the Pepto Bismol from 2010 - not even opened. It feels good to be rid of them.  It also makes me happy that I won't have to worry about bacteria in old makeup   And that my husband won't get sick from my cooking    And that my health has been good enough not to need the Pepto Bismol at all. Inspired by these events, I went through my closets. It is almost time to swap the winter for the summer.  My winter clothes seemed to have stood the test of time for now.  However, my shoes were showing major signs of wear.  I decided on two pairs that I need to say "Farewell" to. The corollary of getting rid of what is expired is that I now have room to add a couple new pairs. ...
