Allen and I are alone in the house for the first time in 25 years. We have been alone a total of 10 months and 3 days in out entire marriage. Paige was born 10 months and 1 day after we were married.
Brittany and Scooter moved out Saturday. It was so nice to clean the house once and it stay clean all day long. I had heard of people doing this but didn't believe it until I saw it for myself Sunday. I half expect to come home this afternoon to find a shoe or a piece of dirty laundry in the living room. Scooter was notorious for bringing stuff in the living room while we were away at work.
After Brittany cleaned out her room and moved everything to her new house that she will be sharing with a friend in the GAP band, she helped me move Paige's bed and the baby bed into her old room. Now Paige and Ryker will have tons of room when they come to stay with us for the first 2 weeks of his life. As of this Thursday it will be 5 weeks and counting down. I'm a little excited if you couldn't tell.
By Sunday I was still so excited about having the house to ourselves that I went out to the shed to get the Christmas decortions. Allen helped me put out a few things and with a wave of my magic wand and help from my little elf, the house is ready for Chrismas this year. I have a few more things to get but basically I'm ready for Christmas.
Who knew moving your last child out would give someone this much energy!?!?! If I had known I would have this much energy I would have kicked her out years ago. Just kidding Britt.
Rita and Allen

enjoy enjoy
ReplyDeleteSo far it has been wonderful. I've even cooked a few nights this week. It is so weird the energy I have when I first get home. I don't know if it's the empty house, the Christmas season, or the arrival of the baby in a few weeks. Maybe it's a combination of everything. Whatever it is I plan on enjoying it for as long as I can.
ReplyDeleteWow...so that is what it will feel like?
ReplyDeleteHa! I am super excited for you and Allen! Jim says once the kids move out he is going to start walking around naked all the time..just to insure they don't come back!
