Robert completed his first full week of work and really likes it and I completed my first week of being a single parent and managed not to be sent to the loony bin!
We have not had a lot of down time this weekend, he arrived on Friday night and we had to fix the flower bed in preparation for the open house on Saturday. Saturday we raced to get the inside ready and everyone dressed to head out for the open house. After the open house our friends who are moving to New York dropped by to visit, they had been gone for a few weeks. By the time they left we hurried to get everyone to bed and then Robert went to help Brian, the friend paint a few walls in there home. Sunday we got did laundry, groceries, the friends came by again and then we had there going away party. I seriously think that this is the first time that I sat down and chilled all weekend.
It is always sad when you have to leave or someone has to leave you. I will truly miss this family. They have become very good friends, we hope to meet them back in Texas when they retire in a few years. It brings me to other thoughts of when we leave, I will really miss certain people here as well, just as I miss my friends in Dallas. People come in and out of our lives and some stay for a reason, I like those the best. I also like those who teach us something.
All of the children are well, Z finished a week of camp and enjoyed getting wet and making projects. M is M, sweet and lovable and then a little mischievous. S is growing and growing, each moment I appreciate and cherish as I know I will never have another baby of my own. Z and M also enjoyed having Jill back, they are going to miss her so much, they really would like her to move with us after she graduates.
There is this odd man that I pass everyday on my way home, he lives on a small farm that is left near housing communities at the intersection of two busy roads, he is constantly running along the edge of his property swatting his hands at the cars and shaking his head, is he angry, is he trying to prove a point or is he not all there? It really bugs me, I think of stopping and asking, but I am afraid that he is crazy.
I have always wanted to be a stay at home Mom, but now faced with the opportunity or challenge I am unsure if that is what I truly want. I love my children and enjoy going to work and being around people, feeling like I make a difference. But being at home is priceless, something I will never get back. I have very little time left
to make a decision, I need to be fair to work and give them enough notice to look for a replacement and I need to be fair to myself and my family, I just do not know! Any words of wisdom?
