Coming home to a clean quiet house was great on Sunday, but as Monday rolled around, I began to feel like I didn't know what to do with myself. Luckily, I had dinner planned with Brea so that occupied my night. We went through boxes of college pictures...cracking up all the way through. For some reason, we thought we had to take a picture (or 6) with food stuffed in our mouths...why, I'm just not sure. Last night, we were just 2 silly college girls again reliving toga parties, white trash prom, lake days and more.
Today, I went to the pool by myself. I took a book and my iPod and just floated for hours. It was a nice, but strange feeling - like I didn't have a purpose. I almost felt hallow without my two sweet girls hanging on to me, asking questions and shouting "Look at me, Mommy!"
I honestly didn't know I could miss them so much! It makes me realize that I was meant to be a mom and a wife, and how blessed to have them all healthy and safe at home with me. I hope that I never take for granted how lucky I am to have them. As school and football nears, I want to cherish each and every moment we have together.

ABSOLUTELY CAN'T WAIT TO SEE LANDRIE TODAY!!
You and KK are missing out! ha
When Jackson was at VBS, Eric and I were at the house and when Gavin was napping we were like "well now what do we do". I know exactly what you are talking about - it is as if without meaning to, your kids just become a part of who you are as a person. A wierd feeling...
Thanks again for coming over on Monday night! Other than the part where I almost died from choking on the spaghetti, I had a great time! :) Now, I just need to get my hands on a scanner and get some of these pictures out for the world to see!!
So glad you had some "me" time.
I so enjoyed the girls and can't wait until the next time I get to see them.
