On my own

Well.................................
The long weekend has arrived, and I find myself all alone in a reasonably clean house, with just the howling of the dogs to keep me company. Yes, my husband took the boys out for a "guys only" boat trip so that male bonding could occur. Seeing as though my husband owns his own company, there has never been much time spent on leisure, and the whole camping thing has never been appealing to him anyways, so summer excursions have never really been high priority. But, after the purchase of a boat last summer, and the addition of 3 business partners, time and opportunity have presented themselves more often. This along with a desire to conquer Harrison Lake - to see if one can actually reach the end (it's a big lake), has inspired my husband to actually sleep on the ground, and take his boys with him. Well, honestly speaking, I was initially supposed to come along, but upon realizing that I would probably put a damper on the "boys being boys" routine, (along with the fact that I was a bit worried I would end up being the kitchen help), I encouraged my husband that the weekend needed to be a bonding weekend for him and his boys.
So alas, I sit here in my unusually quiet house, wondering what to do with myself now that I've cleaned the house and no one has messed it up yet, the laundry is done and no one has created another load, and there are no meals to prepare, cook, or clean up after.

I could get used to this...................................
