single

T. is gone. He left this morning for an overnight meeting before the children and I got home from my parents’ house. He won’t be back until tomorrow. I hate being a single parent. It’s lonely. and relentless.

I just returned from my high school reunion. I haven’t had that much fun in ages! Seeing people I literally had not laid eyes on in 20 years was terrific. We went to a football game Friday night and had a party on Saturday night. Really great time. Caught up with lots of folks and even discovered there were quite a few people who live in the area to which we’ve just moved, which was nice to learn. I didn’t hate my school years, but I certainly have no desire to relive them. But I do have the warmest feeling in my heart for my graduating class. We were a good bunch of kids who turned out to be a nice bunch of grown-ups.
