It's Going to Be a Very Long Week ....

..... and it's only been one day.
Well, two if you count yesterday since C left in the early morning.

I'm finding that I have a lot of time to think.
A lot of time to reflect.
A lot of time to look back.

And a heck of a lot of time to watch TV.
Sigh.

Tonight I've chosen to watch pay-per-view.
"Dear John" and "Wolfman".
One movie to drown in my aloneness and one movie to scare the crap out of me.
Both equally bad choices for a woman alone (mostly), I'm sure.
But heck, I've survived the last 2 1/2 years, I figure I can survive the after effects of one sappy and one horrifying movie.

I've also had time to read some new blogs. Well, new to me.
They are blogs of newly-widowed women.
They make me sad.
And they make me grateful.
They make me see how far I've come.
Very, very, very far.

And that is something.

Happy Monday, Peeps.

It's inspiring and encouraging to see how far you, and people like Kristy at South East Country Wife have come.

As you are feeling it will be a long week, I feel duty bound to offer a few questions for Ask Me Wednesday!

If you had had *another* set of Twins. (S4 and D4) did you have names picked out.

I was watching Sean Connery as James Bond, and by jove, he looks so like George Clooney. So - Sean v George?


If you could choose to have any fantasy career now (if you were 25, with the array of options open now that have evolved over the past few years) what might that be?

Do you have any special laundry tips for dealing with 6 children?

What would the one piece of advice you'd give a new mother?

How's that! Answer any, all or none!

What's the one thing most on your "to see list" in Greece? what's your itinerary? (or is D1 in charge of that, and not telling you?) Just staying in the big cities (what are the big cities in Greece?) or are you heading out to some of the islands? doesn't george have a place in Greece, or is that turkey?
