Just The Two of Us!!!

Will it has finally happened as of Saturday February 22 2008 our last child, third son Andrew moved out into his own apartment. We are now officially all alone for the first time in 32 years. You see, when we first got married I had Shauna from my first marriage so we weren't really alone in the beginning and this is a new thing for us. My husband argues that we were alone for a while when Andrew left on his mission and our daughter Denise moved back home because it was cheaper to live at home than deal with the room mate thing. But I don't consider that....we are now just the two of in this now very large house. There are the disadvantages and the advantages.

The disadvantages: now that it is tax season my husband works late and there is no one home to ...talk to or yell at. It is very quiet....very very quiet! I have to blame me now and not the kids. No one to help me open jars or lids.....

The advantages....I can watch what I want on TV or even just listen to music. During tax season I don't have to make dinner and if I do it is just for 2 not 10 and then some. I get my own way! The house stays clean longer except when my sons decide to come home for lunch and leave a mess. I can even do what I want and when I want. I can dance naked. It can only get better they say but ya know......I would have the kids back in a minute!!!

Now you have to do a post about dancing naked...

We could always come and crash your party. Oh, wait, we are in about three weeks! So enjoy it while you can -- there won't be much peace and quiet while we're around (you can still dance naked though--we won't tell anyone).

That would be strange. All I remember is the Yelling and Screaming and most of all, the Arguing. I miss all of that too!
