Michael left on his trip this morning...a week + of camping without me....it is pouring down rain right now, AND the route he intended to take has been buried the other night under a rockslide. His overnight stops on the way to Hat Creek must be on his mind as he drives the Frasier Canyon route instead of the Pemberton route... I hope he finds somewhere as pretty as where he had been going to go. And I hope the rain stops soon so that he can have a comfortable camp. Today I haven't done too much. Just cleaning up after the Pest Control people who came and gassed the house for carpenter ants....damned things! We could hear them munching the wood in the ceiling of the basement!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! Just can't seem to get ahead on the bills...we finally got a month with money left over in the bank only to have call in pest control. Go figure.
Anyhoo, trying to figure out some fun things to keep myself from missing Michael and this trip too much. Going to go see the new X-Files for sure, since Michael didn't want to see it anyway...planning a movie and mojito with my friend Michelle...so far, that's all I got. I doubt that's enough to keep me from missing him and missing this trip(to see old friends and family), but it's alright. Having the house to myself for a while is kind of a treat, too. I can order pineapple on my pizza, don't have to share my ice cream and I get ALL the pillows AND all the blankets AND can take up as much bed as I want.
Sigh.
Obviously my attempts at distraction will have to be better!
Talk to y'all later.
Maybe I'll have more to talk about.
G'nite.

I had a week last summer without my kids. Everybody else thought I'd be celebrating, but I missed them! I admit, it was nice to have the place to myself. That's the week I reorganized my big bookshelf.
I think you should pour yourself a big bubble bath too.
And take a day off to read.
You'll miss him, no doubt, but you do get to see movies you know he wouldn't like!
I had the house to myself for five weeks once. All of the girls were in Edmonton, and even though I was working two jobs,I was lonely as heck.
I think that the bubble bath is a great idea. Use candles and and smelly stuff. Always works for me.
Pineapple on pizza! Yum! I never get to order that when G is around.
Sometimes it is good to have the place to yourself for a while.
What I wouldn't give to be in your shoes... You know the last time that I had the house to myself for more than a few hours? I'm talking kids and husband gone for at least one night? 12 years ago. It was bliss. I had bubble baths, read, ate what I want, went out with friends.
Maybe that's what I'll ask for on my next birthday - that they all go visiting in Victoria, lol.
Enjoy your time alone! Being apart sometimes is a good thing. My favorite thing is to eat pizza and soup and crackers - IN BED!
I could use a little bit of house to myself time. Maybe after Trevor goes off to school I can sending KB varmit hunting for a weekend.
