The Teenager in Seattle...

Looks like the Teenager is having a good time in Seattle...

The Grandparents pulled the classic Mercedes out of the garage! How Fun!

A Special time he will remember always.

(I can't believe they let him sit behind the wheel of this car, even drive it!!!! ... I would get "the talk" if I walked by it too close going through the garage... I can't wait to be a grandparent, and turn into that person my child never knew, it sounds fun)

No more sulking...

So far so good on taking care of myself... a healthy start to my day! I hope it starts working fast so I can get to feeling better really soon.

Because when I got my head out of the fog, I realized how busy I was going to be while the teenager is out of town...

Who will unload the dishwasher...
And who will be feeding and watering the dogs...
And who will put away all the shoes that pile up by the front door...
And who will be putting away all the clean laundry...

I guess I will be busier than I had ever imagined! Boy do I miss having a teenager around... I need to be more grateful when he is home...

Note to self ~ tell teenager how much you love and appreciate him!

The Public Library...

After trying to pull myself out of my slump yesterday, I couldn't stay focused on work, I was wanting to eat everything in sight, and it was soooooo quiet without my Teenager at home.

I decided to take a drive (yes a walk might have been better, but I didn't have the energy)... I ended up at the Public Library. I forgot how fun it was to find books to bring home and read. I am not a big reader, but I like to skim through them and pick out things that pertain to me. I found tons of self help books, dog training, photography, meditation, cookbooks. It was fun to spend an hour just roaming and looking, and reading. It was almost therapeutic, and I am not necessarily a book worm, I can't imagine what it would be like for someone who loves to devour books.

What an awesome, uplifting, peaceful, free place to go!

The Library... what a nice surprise!
