One Woman Show
Once Number 3 flies away from the coop to join university, I will be home with the little ones.
Worst case scenario is I will be left on my own devices with no personal life whatsoever, as they can't be left home alone. (Isn't that dramatic?)
Best case scenario, we enjoy each other's company and have many3 more happy conversations and do chores around the house together. Perhaps, now is the time to pick up the arts and crafts skills that I have abandoned for so long.
No more night outings except those that will bring me home by 10 (because they need to sleep early).
No more on-the-fly late lunches/ dinners because the schoolbus drops them at home at a certain time.
No more sports activities or society activities that require day-time night-time weekend and in-between commitments, since there are too many things to prepare/ get ready before Monday starts again. (Now I have to figure out the schedule for the school holidays.. hmmmm).
Being 'coerced' to take a step back after 3+ years of doing various activities outside the house, I am rather glad to be domesticated again. To be home for longer periods. To do arts & crafts projects with my little ones, to bake, to cook & clean.. and overall to see them grow.
However I suspect I may miss my friends. Perhaps (once the house is a bit more sorted) I could ask them to come over for dinner (instead of me leaving the house). That's a thought to look forward to!
