Nothing

And so begins my 3 weeks of silence. Saturday morning my 2 beautiful daughters left to be with granny and papa Garringer for 3 weeks in Arkansas. So far our house has been way to quiet. Mommy has found that she really doesn't like it all that well, maybe I just need to turn up the TV blurring loud to help with that. I have found time to call the girls a total of 5 times so far and plan on 6 times by the end of the day. Daddy will be working overnights while the girls are gone, therefore leaving alot of alone time. Many things are in my plans, but getting started has seemed to be the problem. See for 2 1/2 years all my life has really consisted of is changing diapers, consoling crying children, and all the things a normal mommy would do. Having zero mommy responsibilities has left sitting in a quiet room. I began to ponder yesterday afternoon about what to do first, and to be brutally honest this is what I came up with. Do Nothing. That's right yesterday afternoon I did nothing and so far today I have done nothing. Well I guess you can say I did something, such as watch 3 movies last night, eat 2 sonic burgers without anyone asking me for a bite, walk up and down the aisle of the grocery store without telling a single child to sit down in the grocery cart, eat a whole bag of popcorn by myself, and than this morning wake up at 9:00 take a long shower and off to church with no children to drop off at the nursery. Maybe for some this is doing something, but for me, my stance is that I have done nothing since my children have left. Maybe tomorrow I will get to those dishes, the laundry that so lovingly awaits, and the trash that is over flowing... just maybe....
