When the Cat's Away

Today Ellen took Keke, Stewie, and Munchkin to Vermont for a week. They left this morning. Early. They are going up for a memorial service for Ellen's aunt and uncle who passed away over the winter. It's going to be a big party at Gram's old house where all the cousins are getting together. It's great when everyone is gathered and I am sorry that I will not be able to be there. Not to mention that I have to miss a trip to Vermont (I heart Vermont).

I am not going because Beenie has to to go to scout camp next week. So I am driving him there and picking him up before Ellen and the other kids even get home. This has its advantages for me, as I get to go in to work and work at home without being bothered. I also get to hang out by myself for a few days. I love my family very much, but I have this real need to be alone every once in a while. Hopefully this will get that out of my system for a while!

Another cool thing is that overlap time between when Ellen left, and I have to take Beenie to camp. We get to hang out, just the two of us, for a couple of days. That's pretty great, as Beenie is getting older, and is fun to just hang with. As a matter of fact, tonight we got to sit around and watch the season premiere of Doctor Who on the SciFi channel. They ran the first two episodes of season 3 back to back. It was great!!! I think David Tennant is a better Doctor than Christoper Eccleston was, and I thought he was fantastic! Can't wait 'til next Friday!
