Since the girls left, I’ve been trying to keep busy in the evenings… Yesterday evening, a girlfriend of mine from work came over and we walked the neighborhood. Whew! She is as tall as I am, so we were a good match – tackling the hills. I normally have to slow down for my friends, but not her… she kept up with me perfectly. After our walk, we decided to grab a bite for dinner and we had a great time getting to know each other better. It was great. Tonight, the same girl invited me to go to the gym (where she is a member) and run on the eliptical after work. Perfect! Nothing like physically tiring yourself out to make the mind wander…
I haven’t heard from the girls yet today. Maybe they’re still at dinner somewhere. Oh well, I’m sitting at home in front of the computer eating a small salad and it’s only 8:00. Wonder what I can straighten tonight? Should I tackle the playroom?
I remember this past Christmas vacation, my family went to Vermont with our close friends to spend at their home up there. I could not go the entire time as I could not take off from work. I missed my kids so much! But as everything, the days finished and I was with my kids again.
