Carl n Ellie
Stick has been home sick since Sunday. And since the kids are all in school full time, we've been home alone together from 8:15-2:35ish every day.
Do you even understand how unreal this is?
Home alone.
Together.
No interruptions.
No fighting kids.
No tattling.
No doorbell ringing.
No music BLASTING through the house.
As Eliza Doolittle would say, "it's been loverly."
We like each other.
We talked excessively, ate lunch together, he rested but also did our finances, cleaned the office and did the taxes. I did my thing.
Home alone together.
So fun.
It made me think that someday when all the kids are really gone for good (sob) we will be Carl and Ellie.
Happy together.
Alas, tomorrow (today) it's back to business.
He has a kid from the high school named Zephyr (I'm not even kidding) job shadowing him and I'm going to lunch with my girl friends.
Carl and Ellie will have to wait for now.
