They are out the door

I have been alone in this house for the last 20 minutes...and have another eight hours until anyone comes home!  With Thomas being on the same schedule as everyone else this year it's a different routine...I don't have to be "clock watching" in the morning to make sure I get him up and ready to go.  In fact, I told Andrew last evening that if I fall back to sleep in the mornings, there is nothing I have to get up for again until everyone comes home!  Obviously that isn't going to be a daily occurrence, but I suspect there will be those days!  I am also looking forward to not having to worry about Thomas's bus arriving home at 4:30.  It's not going to be a carefree evening as Robert has both cross country and band and won't be home until nearly 9:00, but I am excited about this year...more than I have been in a long time!
