Today, I am resolved to living together in somewhat harmony with all these (adult) kiddos...
I asked Roy at lunch today, "a year from now, will I still be bitching about these kids living with us, but never saying anything to them about moving out?" He affirmed... *sigh*
I just love them - well, especially when they're sweet... but it doesn't take much. For example, I was walking down the hallway last night, half asleep, and stumbled falling against the wall clumsily. Jr was walking towards me at the time and simply said, "whoa" and reached out to steady me. (I grin.) That's it. That's all it took and my heart melts and then, he can stay as long as he likes. And then, today, I asked Aaron for his part of the phone money (which he is, once again, late with), and he responded with a sort of surprise and urgency, "oh! I forgot! I'll go get it now!" That's it. That's all it took was an act of sweet consideration, and he too can stay as long as he likes. (I grin again.)
So, as I said, I am resolved to our living situation - for today. Tomorrow though - we'll see what that holds.
Today was a cooking day! I don't know why. It's not usual that I go to work all day and then feel like coming home to cook and clean. Family dined on Shake-n-Bake pork chops, Stove Top stuffing, macaroni and cheese, and sweet corn. It was a lot of food and I was happy when there was nothing left to put away.
