Ah, today most of the kids will go to my mom's for lunch and then for the afternoon. Nice. Not all will go, though. I'll have minor company with one son. The boys have a pretty lucrative business---house-sitting. Seems we're a neighborhood of single folks with pets. So the boys feed animals, check the houses and at the end of the weeks, they end up with a tidy sum. This work came about all by itself, too. 'Course we've lived in this house long enough (19 years) and know most everybody around our house and behind it as well. Helps that the same boys cut folks' yards too. Anyway, one boy will stay home to do noontime duty at one house they're responsible for. That works, especially since he's such good company. Pretty cool to be able to say that about a 15 year old son!Me? I'll run to the health food store after dropping off the kids---needing a stronger iron to take. Feeling way too rundown, so this should do the trick. Then to the regular grocery for something for dinner. Hoping for inspiration to hit before then. ;)
(listening to the song listed right below this post while I'm writing---so pretty---a great way to begin the day)
The kids asked what I'd be doing *exciting* today while they're gone. Exciting? Not always in my job description (but could be!), but when I told them what I just told you, adding that I'd grab something for lunch and then come home to read---well, they all got that. A quiet house and a good book go a long way to supply contentment. Am seriously enjoying my Gail Godwin marathon of reading besides. The Mr. Bedford book of hers is so appealing. Can't wait!
