Monday was the day. The twins, Ash and Megan hopped on the bus and headed to their school destination. Ash got up to her alarm. I told Brooke to get up, in which she responded, "YES! THIS IS GOING TO BE AN AWESOME DAY!" I got Macy up, to which she responded, "ARRRGGGHHH!!!! NO! LET ME SLEEP!" Wow! Two kids, the same age, such different responses. Macy cuddled with me, asked if she could stay home with me all day. Luckily I had to go to work, or I would've said, "sure." She then asked when is the next snow day. Hehehe! But she finally work up and got excited. It was ok. I went to work. I had to be home to get Leah to high school sign in and bring her to work. Busy day. I was waiting in the driveway for the ladies when they got home. Everyone was excited. A few tears (from mom) but I kept it to myself so they didn't think I was nuts.
Then came Tuesday.......a 5 in school and I didn't have to work. We had a good morning. They got on the bus. But Steve was still home. We hung out: coffee and the Today Show. Then he said, "I gotta go to work, love ya." I said, "wait, what am I suppose to do all day?" He laughed at me and told me to do whatever I want. Have fun! It's a strange feeling, is all I have to say. It's a lonely, lost feeling. It's quiet. So I ran, but you can't do that all day. Then I majorly cleaned the bathroom (boring). Then I went out for lunch and hung out with my mom (YEAH FUN).
All in all, it was a good day. I only called Steve 3 or 4 times :) When you've had kids under foot for 15 years it's strange to just do whatever you want or need, without thinking about the child that's attached to your leg. I told Steve maybe I should work full time, but he said, not quite yet. (I think he thinks our house needs to be cleaned first).
The girls are having fun, so I have to be excited for them. What amazing ladies! Praise the Lord!
