This is my first day at home - I have left my past job, next Monday I will begin another. Yes it's a jump (Erin's daughter asked me if I hadn't just started a job - note to self - must maintain air of responsibility - how do you say to a little girl - yeah but it sucked and I had to get out of there for my own sanity! - sorry...Erin I will never talk to K~ like that until she is way older...)
Anyway - this morning was amazing...but let's begin with the week-end.
First of all I want to apologise to dearest C2 for the craziness that I inadvertently inflicted on you...my dear i am so sorry - please don't be cross with me - I wanted to meet you for lunch and I still want to see you - I am very sorry...
To begin with my former 'manager' and I do use the term loosely....threatened me with my own going away party. I came so close to telling her to fuck off...but this is one of the reasons why I left...
Things my last day were crazed....
For Halloween/Blessed Samhain evening, Erin and I had a wonderful, very sexy evening...as it should be. (Happy New Year to all my Pagan brethren out there...)
The next morning we woke up (in each other's arms of course) and we got up went for a walk to the store to find orange juice (for mimosas - yeah go us!) and breakfast fixin's. En route to the store we stopped at a new shop that sold items benefiting the American Cancer Society. Lo and behold there was an antique dining set, complete with a gorgeous table, buffet and 5 chairs all for $250!!!!! The table alone was worth $200 easily. It is gorgeous. We then went home, ate, drank some mimosas (yeah go us!) and went to finish purchasing the dining set. We brought home the table and chairs and spent most of the rest of the beautiful day outside cleaning it up. It is seriously beautiful. It is the first ime I have had a 'real' set of furniture let alone an antique set. Erin as well. We are both very happy.
Saturday night we went shopping and got ready for our Sunday school (PSR) duties. We enjoy planning and our students as well. We were going to have to sub for the other teacher so it was going to be a bit of a challenge.
Sunday we got up and went to teach. Class was indeed a challenge, however we did pretty well (at least I think) - the other class was not as animated as our kids but still a nice group of kids.
We came home, I made some lunch and then the boys (Erin and J~) went shopping while I stayed home and did laundry. I had asked Erin to get me a NY Times (Sunday) because I truly have been longing for what I call a 'New York Times' Sunday - a Sunday spent just reading the times, drinking coffee and relaxing.
Erin came home, we built a fire outdoors and had tea. I read 'The Times while he did some computer work.
All in all this was a wonderful weekend. Made all the more special by my love and our becoming more cemented as a couple 'nesting' and creating a home of our own to share.
Flash forward to this morning...woke up with Erin - took a shower and er...um...(*ahem*)...made some tea for Erin (which my darling you forgot here), got breakfast for the kids and saw them off to school...something I have not done in years and something I think I could do every day if I was lucky enough to be able to do so....
I ran some errands (I still have a lot to do this week) - got some stuff for me, stopped at the grocers, bought us some dinner victuals and cleaned up a little bit. Tonight Erin and I will go get our buffet to complete the rest of the dining set and we will have a nice dinner.
Tomorrow, we will get up and get to be home together for a while. I will go volunteer to help 'get the vote out', come home, we will vote together, have some friends over and a nice evening.
I could get used to this life - it's not that it is not hectic and I am sure after a while I'd get bored - but I could see myself being a full-time mom and housewife - it's weird in some ways - strange, and nostalgic.
At any rate I will be blogging a bit (hopefully) this week as well...I have some thoughts about life, politics, fashion and society (what else is new?) to share...
....back to getting ready for my husband to come home...I am off to find his slippers, newspaper and a pipe...all I need is a pearl necklace and an apron...(*winks*)....
