Grammy and the kids took off this morning at about 8:30.  Of course, I got a little teary-eyed.  Who wouldn’t?  W just kept waving his little hand at me saying, “byeeee!” and N was as eager as ever to jump into his carseat and get all settled and ready for the long drive to the Lone Star State.  As I kissed and hugged him for the billionth time, I reminded him of these things:

• Listen to Grammy & Popo.
• Take care of W and be a good big brother.
• Call me.
• Have fun.
• Say your prayers.
• I love you and I’ll be right here when you come back.

Of course, he was like, “okay, okay, mom, okay”. 

Now I’m left with this empty house full of toys.  And, I haven’t showered yet this morning.  I have all these things I want to do with my time, but yet, I am procrastinating.  Maybe I’ll take the phone into the bathroom with me so if they call, I won’t miss it!
