Happy Friday!

The Enforcer
I have to admit I’ve had a bit of trouble getting of the hump of now having a teen free house. One where I don’t have the 2:30 bell going off in my head. No longer do I have hour after hour where I’m toting a kid from one activity to another or sitting through an event and cheering (ok sometimes reading) from the sides. This is a totally knew me.
ME being the operative word. And a big part of this me that I was looking forward to is the writer part that suddenly has the time to do what she said she was going to do. Try andreally make a career of this thing.
Oh-uh and gulp Scooby Doo. So to that I spend lots of time preparing to write. You know, researching (click, click online), making coffee, more researching, more coffee and then walking in circles.
I’m thinking Jack has had enough. He’s now turned into The Enforcer.
You gonna get to work lady?
I said now!
Ok, I see you’re going to be a problem, so I’ll just park it here to keep an eye on you.
Have a great hump day. Good luck getting over all your humps today.

KwanaOn a Clear Day…

Listen…
Sad Little Bunny
All this rain we’re having is turning me into one sad little bunny. On the upside this cute image I found on Etsy here makes me smile.
Hope your day is sunny.

So Any Minute Now… Right?
What’s Jack been up to?
The Jackster has been in a state of confusion as you can tell from this pic and his scraggly hair. Just like so many on the east coast he had to deal with the hurricane too. Did I tell you all how the DH and I accidentally locked him out on the porch during it for about a ½ an hour? Yeah, that wasn’t a good start to the first night of being without the twins. Not noticing the missing dog and all. *hangs head in shame*
And ever since then he’s been completely board with me (see over this woman) and totally looking for the kids to come home at any moment. To save him from this dull existence perhaps?
The other day I had the DD on speaker phone and she called out to Jack. He just about lost it running to the front door and barking for her to come in. I just about lost it with that one.
It’s a whole new normal for all of us right now. Jack getting used to it just being me and the DH and the DH and I getting used to each other all over again.
Still hard not to think about any minute now though.

Back to School…Back to Work
Back to School time always feels more like January than January to me. A fresh start and time to put ye old nose to the grind stone and get back to work.
Happy Back to School and Back to Work to all the kiddies heading off today!
I’ll be making that fresh start with you while I’m at my desk.

On My Fingers?
Well ok? If you say so… but I’ll be doing it my way.
Happy Labor Day!

Keeping it together, moving into a New September
So I’m back. Looking the same but not quite feeling the same. In the span of a week you see there was an earthquake that was felt up here in New York, I dropped my dear son off at college and then turned around and the very next day dropped my dear daughter off at college and oh there was Hurricane Irene as a topper.
To say I’m a little mentally and physically exhausted is putting it mildly. For all my big talk there was nothing to prepare me for the letting go moment. I literally did not know what to do with myself and my emotions. I tried to hold on but still the tears flowed and my heart ached like crazy.
All I can say is I feel I left half my heart in another state and I pray it keeps it well while we are separated. I let go of my two opposite twins but had the same feeling of overwhelming, pride, love and sadness and hope at the letting go momen for both of them.
This mom’s only solace is the fact that the dear twins seem of be getting along happily and making new friends which gives me so much joy. Let’s hope they have the same joy as the plunge into classes. Fingers crossed people.
Now it’s time for me to get into a good work and writing routine with the Jackster as my helpmate (thrilled as he is in his boredom).
Wish us well.
In the meantime I’ll try and Keep it Together and keep singing in my own way… melodrama over. Next week more Jackster drama. Hint I’m not on his nice list right now. Yikes!!! LOL.
Happy September!Onward and Upward. Wheeeee!!!!!
Best,
Kwana
P.S. the above are pics of both as they move ahead one me with their dad into their new lives.
