This is likely to be a rambly post. Today is the first day of another week alone for me. I know! another one! I'm thinking they are my reward for all the time I give to my family. My Abba knows how much I love alone time. Don't worry, though. I intend to invite some other Scout moms over for a salad dinner. And I think I may have gotten roped into helping someone move. I'm not even sure how that happened. My pastor's wife is far too compassionate and I am always looking for ways to lighten her load, so somehow we are helping someone move, I think.
This week, I intend to finish grading N's school work for 9th grade, and fill in his transcript. I intend to spend some time sitting before the Lord and listening for His instructions. I really want to do some school planning, but I think I am going to hold off on that. There are some undone decisions that dh and I have to make.
I will not be blogging about anymore deep dark secrets. That was too painful. I shall carry on blogging as if nothing ever happened and just paint a rosy picture for the readers.
Supposedly, I am to take a job application to the vet's for my oldest son. I'm sorry, but in my opinion, this is not a good idea. I would never hire a kid whose mommy brought his application in. Maybe they'll hire me, though? I'd like a summer job out of the house. Why the vet's? He just got certified as a lifeguard. How bout some swimming pools, where you can do something you are qualified for? Sorry. You're not my son. The only thing he's qualified to do with sick animals is hunt them down and put them out of their misery.
Two of my very favorite people came to visit me this weekend. They are friends from high school. I met him in 9th grade, we sat next to each other in P.E. because we had the same last name. We had similar music tastes and a friendship was born. I don't really remember when I met her, she was after my bff's boyfriend. So not my favorite back then. But I love her dearly, now. They are my brother and sister in Christ and that gives me more joy than I can express. They brought their completely adorable boys with them. And that was a special, special treat. Their story is a story of God's mercy, grace and faithfulness. They are miracles. G and C are amazing parents. My boys enjoyed having the little ones around. That was a fun thing to see, as well.
The best thing about being alone is eating what I want when I want. In the past, I would gorge myself on chips and dip, but this week, I have planned to eat salads. Greek salad, caesar salad, pasta salad, chicken salad, things my family roll their eyes at. Dh bought me two chocolate bars for my week alone. Don't tell, but they are really not very good. There is a reason they put chocolate on clearance at the grocery store and it's not because they are lowering the price so that everyone can experience the delightful sweetness and delectable, delicate flavorings.
He also came home with a honey-corn syrup "blend" (ick) and three plastic bowls that were 3/$1. All I'm saying is that the man can't pass up a sale.
Another one of my plans is to watch things on and from Netflix that my family rolls their eyes at. So far I have watched a documentary about cemeteries, The Legend of 1900 and I tried to watch some old black and white Italian film, but even I couldn't watch that. I've got Poirot, some Cary Grant movies, Mama Mia and Absolutely Fabulous in the queue.
Oh!! I also already have watched some stuff on Hulu, too. Have you seen this new show on NBC? It's JUST LIKE FRIENDS! I can't decide if I like it or not. I spend a lot of the time being offended that they ripped off Friends, but I have watched both of the episodes and am likely to continue watching new episodes. It's called 100 Questions.
Not sure how to end this rambly post. So, I'll just stop. Maybe I'll post more tomorrow.
