Been a while since the trips started. First Vegas then San Francisco. Taken a lot of pictures on the trip. And they are fabulous!
It sure feels good to be back home. Still don’t think this is home yet, kind of miss my old dirty house. But life is different now.
Not having to go to work in the morning is certainly a big plus and makes all the difference in how I feel about the day. I think I have an easier time waking up in the morning knowing that I don’t need to rush to work. And I actually accomplish more things than even now. The day after a 10 days trip, I’ve washed all the dirty clothes instead of waiting for the weekend and feeling depressed to spend the day doing laundry.
Benny wasn’t a good dog while we were gone. He peed and pooed in the basement. Got to get hime back in the rhythm again. Took him for a hair cut also and he looks much better now. It is so good to see Manfred too, I actually missed him!
I can’t belive there are so much to do in the day. Can’t understand how I managed when I was working. I am filling the day with so much running around, how DID I manage before with two kids!! I don’t know.
The old house still needs work, throwing junk out and cleaning. It’s depressing. Still need to stop the darn paper there too. It takes at least 3 phone calls to transfer the delivery and they are still delivering the paper at the old house. I picked up 4 old paper today on the drive way. sigh!
It’s going to take some time to get used to this new life. I imagine this leisurely life that I can do the things I like to do but instead I’m running around doing chores all day. Sandy is right, it’s not going to slow down when you don’t have a job, it’s busier! L said we’ll probably eat out most of the time, but when we are home, I still feel obligated to cook dinner. Maybe I’ll get out of that old thinking about what a “house wife” is supposed to do. I don’t think I’ll be a good “house wife” anyway.
