The alone time was sublime. My littles actually went back to school yesterday, but since Hannah didn't have to go to Freshmen Orientation, it took an extra day to get rid of her...
Excuse the crappy first day photo of Hannah. I thought I could trust my lover to memorialize the day, but it turns out that I couldn't.
Since I am the coolest mom alive, we celebrated Hannah's last day off by doing this:
Yep, we went to Six Flags. We could only stay for about 1.5 hours at the park, but since we have season tickets, I didn't feel jipped by the quick visit. Additionally, since we didn't have any shorties, we were able to ride any coaster we wanted, which was pretty marvelous. We came home in time to get Hannah to work and pick up the small fries from their first day at a new school. They seemed to fit in just fine which I felt relieved about, and before I knew it, it was bedtime. Right before we went to bed, Jared and I cooked up some fantastic plans for our alone time today. What did we end up doing?
We got Emma and Hannah out the door, then walked the littles to school but got there 40 minutes early on accident. Rather than wait at a lame elementary school, we walked back home and then Jared drove them back to the lame elementary school while I made eggs and waffles. My lover and I sat out on the deck all alone eating waffles and discussing how great retirement is going to be without loser babies hanging around all the time.
After breakfast, Jared and I had some naked time which was great, though I felt weird and nervous because I kept expecting some rude kid to walk in and catch me being a pervert. Thank goodness they were all at school! This childless routine is going to take some getting used to I guess. As a side note, I hope my mom and my eldest appreciate that I didn't snap any pics of my naked activities. You're welcome prudes...
Jared and I had big plans to go to a Portuguese restaurant for lunch, but got caught up finishing this front jungle project I started a few days ago:
I forgot to take a "before"pic, but you can't believe how overgrown my stupid yard has been! I gotta get rid of that tree at the corner of the house, but it's kind of large so we put it off for another day. Even though we left the tree, the 6 bushes/plants we did clear out left my lover with these battle wounds:
Plus, we busted our last shovel, had to run to Home Depot and get a new one, which busted almost immediately upon returning to the front jungle. Thankfully, I bought 2 shovels, so we finished our vegetation demolition, headed back to Home Depot, switched out the substandard digging tool they sold me, then finished the day off with a quick bite at this Italian Deli that I just love. By the time we finished our late lunch, my rats had started coming home from school. That meant I had to make them dinner and listen to their exploits and pretend to care about what they told me instead of feeling bummed that I wasted my first alone day continuing to clean up after stupid previous owner, Maria!
I was going to feel sorry for myself a little longer, but Kayley texted to let me know she finally got a job as a Pharmacy Technician. Hurray! I'm tired of her sucking on my teats! It will be nice to stop sending her money just so she can eat, play with her friends, and get her hair cut:
Yep, I'm in a pretty good place people. 12 more years and Bub turns 18 which means I can finally stop asking Jared why he didn't use a condom those five times we've had naked time together... Not counting today that is...
