And…They Are Back!

Filed under Events, Kids {57 comments}

In School!

I’m so excited I hit the publish button before I even finished writing the title!

As soon as I get the house cleaned up, caught up with the laundry, empty the dishwasher and load it again and just basically get the place in order, then, I will be back. But not after I have had some time to myself.

I am going to sit and meditate today.

I don’t really know how to meditate but I am going to try to just sit in the quiet 0f the house and marvel in the fact that I am not yelling at anyone to put the cat down.

    I feel your good Zen vibes and am right there with you as today is also the first day of school over here. But — psyche — it’s only a half day today.

    Tomorrow I shall get my full Zen on.

    I am also meditating today.

    My boss hates when I do that.

    Enjoy every minute. I so remember. I can tell you that some day they will be all gone and you can have a quiet home all the time. I so enjoy that now. Every. Single. Day.

    Meditate away. :)

    The cat will also probably revel in the fact that you are not telling anyone to put the cat down!

    Isn’t sitting and marveling meditating?

    Isn’t the silence amazing? I bet the cat is even happier than you.

    Congratulations. Enjoy your peace and quiet.

  • Nonamedufus

    If you loaded the dishwasher with the laundry and the cat you might have more time to meditate. Just a suggestion.

    Ahhhhh…it’s such a beautiful thing! Silence…no fighting, screaming, whining, and all that other racket… Ahhhhh…I am sitting here in silence…school’s back in session. THANK. GOD.!

    I’m glad you’re feeling well, Jen, and that you’ve finally got some time to yourself. But, I, naturally, rue the fact that I have to return to school :D

  • http://injaynesworld.blogspot.com/ Jayne

    Can I just say here how happy I am that I never had children?

    Yeah, I know they “enrich” your life in so many ways. BAHAHAHAHA!!

    Okay. I’ll remove my bitch self now. ;)

  • http://kidwonderful.com Jenny

    You know, as sad as it seems, by the time you got done doing all those things that needed done, the kids were probably home all over again. And if not, HOORAY!!!!!!!

  • http://www.weworkforcheese.com Nicky

    Whenever I meditate, I fall asleep. Not a bad thing, really. Enjoy it and don’t forget to set your alarm.

  • http://mommamiameaculpa.com meleahrebeccah

    whoooo hoooooo!

  • http://twitter.com/roses2rainbows Linda R.

    I know you are excited. Enjoy your peace and quiet.

  • http://www.surfiesays.blogspot.com/ Surfie

    Hooray! Hope you enjoyed your first day of quiet and an empty house. :)

    I love to meditate (it calms my natural bitchiness). You should totally read “Eat Love Pray” (NOT go see the movie) because it’s a great book all about rediscovering yourself and your inner piece.

  • http://www.alfredliveshere.com Brahm (alfred lives here)

    Good for you – enjoy the peace. I am just pissed off at all the extra traffic, cuz it is all about me.

    And I agree with Brookeamanda, good thing to read Eat Pray Love. Waste of time to see movie….

    Love your trials and tribulations with the cat…I can relate. We have two of them, and they don’t care for it much when The Daughter picks them up, carries them around, and locks them in her room.
    Take a nap today!

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    I read the book, don’t even get me started on that book. I’d have tons of
    inner peace if someone footed the bill for me to discover myself and then
    write about it.

  • http://warriormother.ca Connie M Watson

    Sounds like Heaven! Jayne, I’m so jealous of you….

  • Rebecca

    Congrats! I don’t think I’ve ever seen you so happy, lol…

    I just found the spa channel on dish network…it is so peaceful sometimes I fall asleep for a few minutes while sitting in my chair and writing notes. BUT if you want to get anything done you better go for the heavy metal channel.

    Haha, yay for school! I live by myself, but I know what you mean… the apartments are QUIET right now. So, can I pick up the cat now?

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    The whole neighborhood is quiet, it’s wonderful. Only a lone lawn mower (someone who obviously hasn’t read my blog) is humming in the distance.

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    Spa channel, is that like the fireplace channel I watch during the holidays? No music or noise is on, I just want peace. An occasional dog or cat fart is all I want to hear right now.

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    It was one long ass summer. Not to fear, Christmas vacation will be here soon enough.

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    Funny thing is the cat was nuts all day yesterday because no one was picking on here. She waited by the door for the daughter to get home so she could be abused properly.

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    Jayne likes to rub her choices in my face sometimes. Which only means I will one day send my children out to visit aunt Jayne, and I don’t even care what nonsense she tries to fill their little minds with.

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    I know!

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    I am, thank you.

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    I did, but not as much as I thought I would. I missed the kids and the noise. Not that I want it back but it took a little getting used to is all.

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    I fall asleep too, I don’t think that’s how it’s supposed to happen. Something about enlightenment I think but I don’t think that’s ever going to happen. I’m pretty sure enlightenment is for people who don’t have kids.

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    They were but for a few minutes I felt a sense of great accomplishment. And no one said “I’m bored” all day long.

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    Next summer I’m shipping them off for a nice long visit to aunt Jayne’s house.

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    Sorry Sam. I did my time in school. Now that the kids are back in school I have homework again too so don’t feel too bad at least you aren’t doing second grade math.

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    Bwahahahaha!

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    how or why did you link that? I don’t find anything except errors. Enjoy the silence, it won’t last for too long.

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    The cat and the dog are confused. They will adapt, as will the rest of us, soon.

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    I am.

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    I don’t know, I’ll have to think about that.

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    She won’t have to sleep with one eye open anymore.

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    It sounds like heaven, only 10 more years.

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    Just today?

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    It’s tomorrow, are you eating bon bons yet?

  • http://mrsblogalot.com mrsblogalot

    Good for you! Back to school for me means homework I’ll never understand.

    Third grade is going to be tough…again (-:

  • http://insearchofmeinmommy.blogspot.com Kim – In Search of Me in Mommy

    I have no idea – I didn’t mean to link anything. Weird.

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    Tell me about it. Second grade already had me Googling the oceans and (hangs
    her head in shame) the continents.

    xoxoxo

    I feel like I’m back at school. After two weeks of vacation, I’ve forgotten what it is that I actually do at the office.

  • http://www.weworforcheese.com Mike

    Meditation is whatever you want it to be. Even doing dishes (in the quiet of your home) can be meditative. That cross-legged thing puts me to sleep too including my feet.

  • http://beetle-blog.com/ babs (beetle)

    Ha hah! I don’t know the feeling, but I can liken it to having a family (with kids) come for the day, and finally leave!

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    if only it were for a day.

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    I get that feeling without going on vacation.
