...ALONE...

Since I've started school back, my days are so, so long! I have to do my schoolwork, get the girls their homework for the day, go to school, help Emil, come home cook, clean, grade their homework, take a shower and if I'm lucky start on my homework before midnight! It's been stressful.
So today, Emil offered to take the girls out for a while and let me stay home...alone... to study in the uninterrupted quiet.... THANK YOU PAPA BEAR!!!!
I can probably count the number of times I have stayed home alone in the past ten years on one hand...this is a real treat! (I'm not saying I don't love my girls or being a mom, sometimes I need a time out and just rest and think about me.)
SO....... the first thing I did was put the TV on classical music.... I would never be able to do that if everyone was home!

Then I folded a load of clothes, washed another and after this post will put a third load in. I swept the floors, mopped the kitchen and living room, washed all the dishes, cleaned the table then cleaned the kitchen....with no interruptions!

Mom texted me and asked me if I was having fun yet...here is my response....

I just may have put my karaoke machine on and sang some Whitney Houston....maybe...after dancing around my living room to "Family Tradition".... just maybe....



The girls called and said they would be home in about an hour, so I uploaded these photos, am writing this post, made me a cup of Cafe Mocha......

and now am getting ready to buckle down and study some hormones and the heart...

I am so thankful Emil took the girls and gave me some free time. I don't ask for much and this was greatly appreciated! This little break should hold me over for a few months...it sure was nice. I do miss them all already...am I crazy?

Today was supposed to be our last day of triple digits... I sure hope it is. Yesterday we supposed to break all types of heat records. It was so hot! Both Emil and I got really bad headaches, and body aches yesterday. I think it was heat exhaustion. We weren't even out in it that much, but what we were out in was unbearable. It's like you can't even breathe it's so hot and so much pressure.

Sunday we girls stepped outside after lunch. It was the hottest I have ever felt outside....

This is why......

I am so ready for fall. I've been looking at fall crafts on pintrest and am ready for some fall scents. I've been hounding my sister about Scentsy fall scents. I want fall colors and scents and crafts....I am ready for fall!
