When I came downstairs this morning, the first floor looked as if the rapture had occurred and everyone was taken except for me! All the lights were blazing, shoes were in the middle of the floor as if whoever had been wearing them was whisked away mid stride. There were dirty dishes piled in the sink, the same sink that I cleaned before going to bed, Glasses everywhere and not a child to be found. Not in bed, not on the sofa...
Hmmmm... Did I lead that much of a sinful life that I was the only person left standing? Sigh. Nope. The younger boy and his friend were asleep in the basement with those lights on too. The older boy staggered in shortly after I finished cleaning up and weeding the garden beds... he took a bus to New York City for a concert that started at 11 PM or so, did only God knows what with a group of friends until 6 AM when they boarded another bus back to Philadelphia and then a car ride back to West Chester. The cat has dragged in better looking specimens.
We are winding down to the last weeks of summer. I will miss these boys very much. I will miss their friends. What in heaven's name will I do with all my free time once I am not cleaning up after them?
Looks like I'll be having some extra free time come end of August. If you know anyone looking for real estate in Chester County, I'm your girl!
