Lone time is confusing

My family went to N.Y. to visit Grandma P and all the rest of the C's and D'A's. E and not so much baby m were only slightly aware that anything out of the ordinary was going on. "Were going on a trip....." With sadness, I watched them all disappear into the terminal. I will miss them.

I was hoping E was going to take it easy on M as she was by herself to try to keep E reined in. I dropped them off at Detroit an hour before scheduled departure, and at 2 pm M called so I knew they were not in the air. Well, it seems that there was a 1.5hr delay, I hope that is all they encountered.

Now, I am at home after my return trip and wondering exactly what does one do with free time??? Frankly, I currently feel lost. No drinks to prepare, no DVDs to insert, no going outside, no knees to kiss, no going "upstairs" and no questions to answer. Yeah, I feel lost. I have a huge mental list that I want to tackle while off work (due to strike... more later) and the house is empty. I guess I will sit for a little bit and regroup. I have to go to the Father / Other dinner tonight sans my son, where a really good speaker is scheduled. I am hoping my dad will sit with me instead of washing dishes, so I feel a bit more legitimate attending. So for now, I will not be efficient and I will wait until time to leave. I will make my mental notes and hope I get some of the items crossed off between now and Sunday. Oh, and as it would happen, a "Monk" is on that I haven't seen...

On second thought, I am alone in a quiet house... Glee or confusion?
