Today, 30 minutes ago, I packed my 3 kids and husband into the mini van with 6 sleds, a duffle bag of snow gear, meals for 2 days, and an arsenal of games, books and DVD's. They're off to Tahoe with our dear friends the VN's. A trip that I was supposed to accompany everyone on, but due to pre-term labor symptoms, I was left behind.
I don't really know what to do with myself. We currently only have one working vehicle. That would be the mini van that is headed to the mountains. Our old Jetta is in the driveway, awaiting repairs. I can't walk anywhere because of the contractions that are caused, so I'm basically homebound.
At this stage in my pregnancy, I have a huge list of things that I want to get done, but I also can't do things like lift, vacuum, or scrub, so my list of projects I can actually tackle is small. The rare opportunity of having my entire home to myself and no children underfoot is something that I don't want to let pass me by, but I'm wondering what should be done with my time. Folding mountains of laundry, organizing the paperwork on the desk, becoming and expert on all of the events in the 2010 Winter Olympics, watching back episodes of Glee, reading all of those parenting books I keep meaning to read...I just don't know where to begin.
Here's to hoping this is good time!!! Maybe I'll train the dog to do something spectacular :)

You don't have to do any of those things. Take a nap. Watch the shows you mentioned and just enjoy the quiet. It will be a long time until you have it again. I love you. Call us at the lake if you get lonely. I will be working on Mac's baby afghan.
The dog is adorable. I want one!
