Well we are back from our trip to Wisconsin. It was good to get away and good to be home too.
We had a nice visit with our friends, the kids got reacquainted with each other and all the grown ups had a nice visit too. I have known this friend and her H since my sophomore year of college, hard to believe that we are all 40+ now.
I was very proud of my boys, they really had wonderful manners and behaved like gentlemen, that blessed my life. Everyone always says what great boys they are, and even H says that is all my doing, that I raised them by myself. That is not exactly true but I was always the parent who provided the structure for them.
Being home now I feel like I am back to the daily grind again.
We did go shopping on the way home and I bought myself a new spring coat, a very stylish and pretty one, using the $ I earned myself. That did feel rather empowering.
I already know that I am subbing tomorrow, so that is good. It is nice to know ahead of time rather than just getting called at the last minute.
The last time I spoke to H was last Tuesday, but he did call on Friday and leave a message saying he was safe and sound in Paris. If he had really wanted to speak to us he could have called on my cell phone, but he didn't so that is ok too.
