A Weekend of Tranquility

This weekend George and the kids were in Altoona and I had the entire weekend all to myself. I vegged out ALL day Saturday until late afternoon and then attempted to get some walking in at the local park. It was too stinking hot out so I ventured off back home to my bed and watched a movie. Sunday was a day of house cleaning, laundry, shopping and I even managed to get 11 miles of walking in on the treadmill as I watched one of my favorite movies "Steel Magnolias" and a few reruns of 48 Hours Mystery. Today the family is due back home. While the time to myself was long overdue, I sure did miss my kids and all the the noise, the chaos, the constant fighting, bickering, "mommy" this and "mommy" that - Yes, believe it or not I was missing it all - the house is not the same without them all there.
