The
kids were away at camp all last week and R and I had the house to
ourselves. You'd think with all that free time I would get so much
done, but it's never that simple. Something always seems to come up
to complicate things and slow the process down, not that I'm making
excuses or anything like that. Plus, the weather was brutally hot
during that week, which hampered my efforts to do things outside.
Nonetheless,
I did manage to get a few key things done, most notably the
insulation on the second floor of the barn and transplanting the
tomato plants in the greenhouse. I had various household duties like
fixing the bathroom sink and mowing the lawn, not to mention doing
poster boy work. One thing R and I decided was that we wouldn't do
much in the way of cooking this week, which of course meant fewer
dishes to wash. All in all it worked out okay, though I find I miss
the kids and life seems a little less rewarding. Don't get me wrong,
I'm glad the kids love to get away and really love camp, and it is
nice having a respite from the big load of responsibilities that
comes with raising kids, but with greater challenge comes greater
reward, right? At least that's what they tell me.
Until
the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to Michael Veltman for the pic.
