T-minus 4 hours and counting.....

Today's the day!

The boys come home this afternoon!

I must say...I HAVE enjoyed the quiet reading times....clean house...no cooking...afternoon naps...alone time with Lauren and solo shopping.

Now...it's back to reality. Back to 20 loads of laundry....dishes/glasses hidden under beds...my days spent as a short order cook...sibling squabbles...shopping while hearing "I want, I want, I want, I want!"and Lauren hiding out in her room or at friends houses to avoid her younger brothers pestering.

And I said I miss this?

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's what makes me happy. It's what makes us a family. It's what makes like interesting. It's what gives me great blogging material! hee hee

Face it...without the boys hear this week....my posts have been pretty hohum.

Lauren headed to UNC Chapel Hill (cheering camp) at the wee hours this morning. Chris is at work.... and I slept until 10:00am. Now I'm up...showered and about to head out to buy the MIL a birthday gift. This weekend is going to be busy. We have some family coming into town to visit...Jackie's birthday tomorrow (dinner)...karate...Nick's performance on Sunday morning at church (he's Satan....cowboy style...I'll give you details and pictures later)...and VBS kickoff Sunday evening.

I hope you guys have great weekends. Enjoy the nice weather (it's a bit cooler than past weekends) and play hard!

I'll leave you with this....
