Back to School

X-man went back to school today after 2 1/2 weeks off.  Since he isn't a fan of school, we can just say the morning was filled with a bit of groans and tears.  I've felt a bit home bound for the months of November and December, counting only 3--now 4--days without a sick child.  I've been looking forward to getting them well and then get out and doing some Christmas preparations. But I find myself wandering the house, listening to the silence. I'm missing my little sickos!!  Isn't being human funny?  Can't wait to have alone time, then miss them when I do have alone time!  The alone time won't last long. I have to take B. to get a loose bracket fixed today.
