A Friday evening home alone

I'll be honest, I'm a little bit giddy about my Friday evening!  In fact, I've been looking forward to it all week!  The band decided that we aren't manning a table at home football games this year for a variety of reasons, so I am not committed to being at the games each week.  Catherine still has to be there to perform, and Andrew still has to be there for stats.  Eighth graders are invited to play along with the high school band, and Thomas has decided to do so.  Robert has to work this evening, so I am home alone.  I felt a little bit of guilt about it since it meant I would be missing Catherine's band performance, but if I went it would mean Abby would have to be in the crate after being there most of the week while I worked.  I have oodles and oodles of work to take care of around the house this evening, but I am looking forward to actually having the opportunity to get it done...and I might even take a quick nap!
