april already?

so i'm home alone today. this is a first and it feels pretty weird. the kids are at a friend's house...a damned good friend, i might add. see, i don't just farm my kids out to whoever says ok. i want them to be with someone who at least loves them a little and appreciates them. and this friend, well, let's just say sometimes she sees more positive, interesting, beautiful things about my kids than i do. it's important to know people like that. and it's really important to keep them around as much as possible...

so my job today is to clean my house and make it look like a home someone might want to buy. i think i can accomplish this. at least to some degree greater than i was able to with four children, two dogs, and five rabbits in the house. oh, and N and i nursing the colds/allergy issues we brought back from our home town last weekend.

lindsey's shower went off well. i can't believe she's getting married. well, that's bullshit...i can believe it. i'm just feeling very happy for her. there's just so much i wanted to say to her, but it all boils down to "take care of each other"... i know they will. and when they don't, they'll find their way back, i'm sure...

so maybe next weekend, we'll go look at homes in this new town we'll be moving to. this makes me nervous for some reason. i just want to start moving NOW...

ok, i just wanted to check in... one more cup of coffee, then it's time to work...

peace
