Today is the Day

Well, today is the day my kids (see above) arrive home from camp after 6 weeks away. They will be delivered home by their father eta 6:00ish. I have been looking forward to that time for 6 weeks. Needless to say, I will be galloping out to the car to embrace them and anticipate along with this pleasure 20 loads of laundry, requests for meals, and gently reminding them that yes, they do have to got to bed at a reasonable hour. I also anticipate they will be very sweet and lovable for perhaps the remainder of the evening. Tomorrow morning we will back on the 'schedule' and my gas tank will once again be screaming for fuel on a much more regular basis as we begin football, tutoring, activities, birthday celebrations, and everything else that makes a single mom exhausted.


That is all OK though, because while the break from them was peaceful, I am needing to get back to motherhood. Liz, please remind me of this about Wednesday of this week when my daily mantra kicks in that goes something like this, 'I am a single Mom doing the best I can'. (If you are a single Mom, I recommend using this to get out of any little mix-up.) Traffic cops especially.

P.S. I am wearing in this picture the Fleming Sunglass model. One of my favorites and looks great on men too.
