Home Sweet Home

 And as much as I love my mornings when hubby has his Bible studies, even when I'm working, here I am and it's a little after 7AM and I still need to get dressed and clean things off.  Yep. Housecleaners are coming this morning at 8AM.  How did I get to be so lucky?  Another morning that I don't have alone.  I have about 20 minutes before I need to get dressed and start hustling to get things put away.  The bed in here is a loaded mess.  I've got Amazon boxes everywhere!  Once they are gone, I'm hoping I can get out of here for a little while - alone - hubby has an 11AM doctor appointment.  I have a 3PM dentist appointment.  But the time in between the cleaners leaving (about 10:30AM) and my dentist appointment should give me some play time, right?  

I did run over and visit Ms. Vicky last night.  I need to make sure I call Ms. Diane or run up to see her sometime today.  I could put it off until tomorrow... and just call today.  Will see what I decide to do.  I actually have some 'alone' time and I'm not sure what I want to do 'first'.  Does that make any sense?

This is my last day of vacation and I almost wish I changed it to end yesterday. Yeah, there are still some things (as above) that I want to do today... but I could have saved 8 hours vacation time. Oh well.  Still have about 50 hours I think, and earning each month.  This time off just confirms I will work until I die. I don't think I'll even complain anymore about working still.  It is the only way I think I can stay somewhat sane.

Thought maybe I should pause here and get clothes on - just in case they arrived early.  So I'm dressed, I cleaned off my bathroom counters and removed the trash.  Went into the kitchen and put some things away sitting on the counter.  Made myself a bowl of cereal.  Need another cup of coffee yet - which I will get soon.  Still need to start on this bed.... oh well.

I'm still out of sync with my daily life - have things that I should have done an hour ago and haven't touched it yet.  

I do have a scripture that I want to share from Ephesians 5 that troubled me yesterday.  But, I don't have time to go into it this morning, so hopefully I will remember it in the morning, when I hope that I will have more time.   I don't think anything is on the calendar for tomorrow morning.  Since 'we' are on vacation... sigh.... hubby is ok doing things by himself (bible study) but heaven forbid that I want to do something without him.

I know, I'm weird. Most wives would love for their hubby to want to do things with them.  I did manage to get out to the grocery store alone yesterday.  Hubby did try to go with me, but I talked him out of it.  (come on, what husband likes to push a cart around the grocery store just to be with me - other than mine?)  Give me a break, though, ok?  I'm with him nearly 24x7 since I work from home!

Need to jump off here and finish straightening up my yarn I have thrown all over the couch.  The cleaners do an amazing job and the house smells so good always when they finish.  They should be here in about 10-20 minutes.  I have a few more things to do. (I'm distracted; watching my neighbor walk his dog outside.  I wonder if I can talk hubby into letting me get a small dog.... ).

SO - long story short.  We are home. We had a nice quiet time. I drove. We got there and home safely. Hubby didn't yell at me - about anything.  Nor I him.  We really didn't talk much.  We just don't have much in common .... we did talk about a book I finished and of course since I read it, he wants to read it. (ever have someone who so much wants to be like you that if you read it they have to read it?)  Is that a compliment?

Ok - with that - I'm off here.  Hope you have a great day!  Good news is - I'm home and hopefully will get back on track with everything by Monday morning.  I'm still on vacation right now.

Blessings!
