Home Alone


My husband has been at the Fall Pastor's Conference the past few days. It has been what we call a "Girl Party" at our house from Monday morning until he arrived home late this afternoon. Claire has been in school, of course, but it's still me verses the two little girls all day. Then it's 3 to 1 in the evening. There were no major incidences (thankfully) but single parenting is really tough! I was very happy to welcome Chris home.

So Monday and Tuesday nights after I put the girls to bed I tackled some projects that have quite literally been piling up in the basement (mostly because I get spooked in this big house by myself--certainly not because of any sort of ambition). I did a gazillion loads of laundry and started stripping the antique buffet I purchased this summer at a rummage sale (for $20!!!!). I am very excited about the wood underneath the years of varnish and grime--only a carpenter's daughter gets excited about nice looking oak.
