Today is only day 6, almost day 7, of Chris being gone. In some ways it feels like he has been gone much longer, in other ways he seems as though he just left. Since I am staying positive I will note a few positive things.

1. My refrigerator is perfectly organized the way I like, all the labels facing forward and everything in a row.
2. The house seems to be much cleaner, which I like.
3. All the laundry is done, and I am only picking up after myself and the kids.
4. I get the bed all to myself... I suppose this could be seen as a negative... but hey, it's nice to spread out. :)
5. I get all three kids to myself, and we are having lots of fun together. This is really a big bonus. :)
6. I have learned that I can take care of three kids, get all the shopping done, cooking, cleaning, take care the animals, and the house all on my own. I am feeling quite independent and accomplished.
7. .... I can't think of any more right now, but hey, it could be worse right? I could be working and trying to do all of the above things, but I am lucky that I get to stay home with the kids.
