I got home from work today and the very lonely dogs came running. The whole house was dark. My husband had gotten home during daylight hours and was hanging out in his room. And, because there was nobody else in the house, none of the downstairs lights are on. The kitchen is still clean, and my Gatorade bottles are just where I left them. There are no articles of clothing tossed carelessly about. Mostly, it is just very very quiet.

BM has the kids this weekend. I miss them.
