Did you hear that?? Me, neither. Silence. Seriously, silence. For the first time in 12 years, in the middle of a school day, I am alone in the house. (Okay, Buddy the Wonder Dog was still here, and Kim was here for awhile, but you get the picture...) I had pictured myself soaking in the big jetted tub, bubbles everywhere. Maybe reading the paper, painting my toenails. It's what I should have been doing yesterday.It was a big day for 2 of us, here in the Brooksby house. Nat went to her first day of pre-school and I had an entire 2 1/2 hours to myself!! But, instead of the bubble bath, I took a 5 minute shower and spent the rest of the time picking up after my slovenly children. Not at all what I pictured myself doing to celebrate, but it had to be done. I thought the day would never come - all the kids in school for a few hours in the day. What will I ever do with myself to pass the time?? Kim asked me if I wanted to get a job...I hope he was kidding....

hope you slapped him.
you have a job...you have several. none that you get paid for, but still jobs. there will be a day. maybe you should schedule out a day a week for Erin!!
Something I can only dream of! You deserve it! We are excited to be doing preschool with a Brooksby again:)
Wow, I was living that moment of bubbles and toenail painting until the mention of a job popped that vision. Bless Kim's heart, putting his foot in his mouth all the time. Enjoy the 2 1/2 hours friend.
A job? Seriously... apparently, you'd better not let any of your women friends near him!
