A Glimpse Into the Future

Christian left for a vacation with his friend's family today, so the only ones here are me, Chad and Jacob, excuse me, Jake. Caroline and Kirk are up in Connecticut with my family waiting for my arrival on Wednesday. It dawned on me this morning that this may be what it will be like if Caroline goes off to school at 18. It will be me, Chad and Kirk. How strange is that? There are some pros and some cons....

Pros:
Very quiet!
I can keep up with messy rooms. (They pretty much stay the way I leave them.)
I don't have four, excuse me five, people asking me to do five things at one time.
I am having one on one conversations with Jake. (Kirk in the future.)
I don't have to buy four gallons of milk every two days.
I have time to finally write a new blog. (I know, finally, right Tice, Sally and Natalie!)

Cons:
I can hear the sounds the house makes.
I'm the only one cleaning the rooms. (I miss you, Caroline!)
Skipper follows me everywhere, unless Chad is around, of course, then I am completely ignored.
Because I'm not in need of milk every two days, I don't have an excuse to go buy chocolate!
I have to feed Skipper. (The smell of dog food makes me gag!)
All my "peeps" aren't sleeping under the same roof!
