Ian is still at his dad's house and Zhane has gone to Robert's house with Cameron. This means I have a little over two weeks with no kids. I wish I were a little better off financially so that I could take a long weekend with Michael, but right now it is not in the cards. It's funny, but I look forward to the concept of them being gone. The reality, however, is very different. Without the kids, my house is very quite and dark. It's almost like the sun has gone behind the clouds without them here. Once a day or two has gone by, I will feel better. I won't feel like I have no purpose without them here. Ususally I paint or redo, but right now I can't justify it. I'm trying to pay off bills, catch up and start saving for Christmas so that it will be easy for us this year. As good as a gallon of paint would feel, I need to chill out right now and work with what I have. I think I'm going to start an art quilt with those fabric books I rescued. That might be a good Christmas gift... think I'll get started. I'll let you know how it goes. Crazy quilt pot holder, anyone??
