growyourwingsBob is out with Tom this morning getting firewood. Just a moment ago I realized that I was in the house alone. In the middle of the night I got up and realized that I didn't have to check that Tim was asleep because he wasn't here becausing he was spending the night at his cousin's house.
Last night Bob and I went out to dinner. I looked at him across the table and thought "he's looking good." And I also thought, "he looks a bit like an 'old fart'" (but in a very good way). I realized both us looked like what we were, an older married couple and married for years; but perhaps both edging onto looking more like grandparents rather than parents (hopefully not quite there yet *g again*).
We got home and watched the new BSG movie Razor (which was good btw). I wasn't feeling well so we went to bed after that.
Although Emily is coming home this Weds--there's been many circumstances lately that just reminds me that Bob and I are on the edge of something new. Empty nesters. Scary, weird, and maybe a little exciting (assuming we survive it *g*).
Just feels strange. After years of the world being centered around kids--that's gonna change almost "tomorrow". Can't wrap my brain around it. Getting to be selfish again, spontaneous maybe. I really, really, really cannot wrap my brain around this.
