I say all that so you don't think too poorly of me when I annnounce how much I am loving this life! Just my 15 yr old and me. We wake when we want, I only need to do laundry once a week. I can get away with 2-3 bags of groceries for the WHOLE week! (and the whole bed to myself is pretty nice, too, especially sans my husbands Restess Leg Syndrome kicking)
AND BEST--- We have grab a spoon and eat half a watermelon for dinner!
Yesterday, Wednesday the our first day in WEEK 2 of being 'Us 2'
Week Two of Ki & I Adventures. (KIA)
The day started as they all do, laid back, reading, a little computer time, he empties the trash, I wash a few dishes...
I have my protein shake. My stomach seems to do much better with just a llittle liquid protein as opposed to 'real food'. (more on that later)
A little later we drive out to the local animal shleter where Ki volunteers with the kitties. Dear, sweet, cuddly kitties.
Ki broke up 5 cat fights the first hour. Elvis the fluffy grey cat was in a bad mood. Stalking and fighting with all the other cats and when they weren't close enough to fight, he'd fight his reflection in the mirror.
Then Purrcey knocked a water bowl from a shelf onto the floor. We are not sure WHY the waterbowl was elevated like it was. It took a whole roll of paper towels to mop it up.

After our fun with kitties, we read more, and just chilled at home....

Wow, Elvis must have some serious inner turmoil going on.
It sounds like you have been having a lovely time with Ki! That is so great that he volunteers at an animal shelter!
Also, I think watermelon is a FANTASTIC dinner!!
So glad you're having fun! I love my date days with my boys. Tomorrow... camping with Youngest in the weirdest place ever. :)
It is nice to have time with just one kid. When I get that opportunity, the house does seem quieter. And yet, it's so nice to hear THAT child's thoughts. And it doesn't hurt having the bed to yourself. :-) Happy Watermelon Eating!
