Well, they're all looking out the back door, but the truth of the matter is that we're all just waiting for Neel and Callum to get home.

While the boys headed up to Neel's parent's for the weekend, I got some much-needed solo time in. I can't say that I was particularly productive by any stretch, but I had a lovely time of it. The perfect combination of solitude and company. Dinner with my friend Jean, a movie with my friend Rebecca. A riveting America's Next Top Model marathon on MTV (now that's the kind of watching I can't do with an eight year old son around!). I did a little dress shopping (no luck), a little cleaning (we'll see how long it lasts once the boys arrive back home), some knitting, some sewing, and a lot of lounging around.

We had thunderstorms last night and all three dogs quaked around me, but I imagine that any minute those tails will start wagging furiously. Time to myself is a luxury anymore, and I feel refreshed and rejuvenated. More than that though, I'm ready for the return of my family.
