The party's over

I just returned from taking Jeremy and Krissy to the airport.  The last of my children are gone.  Now to return to reality.  Laundry, cleaning, taking down decorations, getting back to my old routines, work...  In a way I'm looking forward to it but yet sad, knowing it will be a while before I will be able to have my children all together again.  It would be a perfect situation if they all lived relatively close so we could have family get-togethers for birthdays and special occasions.  But as the saying goes...if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.  There have been many times in my life I was ready to pick up and move to be closer to my kids, even just recently.  But for the first time in my life I have friends to go out to lunch with and have Bible studies with and go for walks with.  I feel that I am becoming a part of the Jamestown community.  It would be hard to leave all that too.  But only time will tell.  For right now I just want to get out of debt and lose 60 pounds and all that starts today.
