This silence is deafening! House is clean. Our girls’ weekly chore chart made. I can literally hear the clock ticking. For sure going to have to start new routines, hobbies, more book reading, getting out of the house, taking a class, volunteering at the school, or maybe even a part time job before I go mad! This new phase in my life is harder than I expected after having children home with me year round for the last 12 years. Thankful I have so many options and a husband that will back any path I opt to go down. I can hardly wait for my Nina & Maw-Maw Tuesdays to begin next week! I really thrive with the sound of my children and grandchildren! They grow up far faster than my heart will ever be ready for.
