A lovely Spring day

I am without children for about 1 1/2 hours. Chris took them all to karate and let me have some alone time. I'm sitting outside listening to the birds and playing on the computer. What a way to spend some down time!!! We have finally got the garden planted, just in time for tomorrow's rain. They are saying words like "tornado" alot...so I'm wondering how bad it is going to be. I hope for just a nice stormy day....a little thunder and all, but nothing deadly. I find that really relaxing. I registered Attie for PreK today. In 3 months she will start school. I can't imagine my life without kids at home. What will I do? I have no idea. Part of me is looking forward to having some me time, part of me is terrified of all that alone time. I think I will have to cultivate some friends to go out with. One thing is for sure....I'll have a lot more PSP time!! That I'm gonna love. I took the van to a mechanic last week, he basically told me not to waste my money and start looking for another vehicle. Dandy. I've really enjoyed having no car payments. And with Chris's work situation so unstable we don't dare try to buy anything. So we are driving it till it literally falls apart and then we will make do with just Chris's car until we can afford another payment. Speaking of Chris, he went for his MRI on his shoulder this morning. We won't know anything until the doctor sees him Wednesday. I'm not sure how I feel about it all. I really want his shoulder to be fixed and pain free, but I worry about the loss of income while that is happening. I mean, yes, we have made it through worse times, but I'd prefer not to do it again. Well, I suppose that is all I can come up with. I'm going to sit here and enjoy the silence and the breeze...
