So it's always a day of adjustment. FDH & I both work at home so once SD8 is off to school we buckle down and work like crazy to get a head start on the week. But this is the every-other-Monday that she will go to her mom's after school instead of coming back here. So there's this feeling of something missing, but the possibility of more flexible plans at the same time. We like our weeks without SD, but we do miss her -- FDH more so than me, which I imagine is pretty normal and expected.

Anyway, there's more I wanted to write, but work calls -- maybe more later if I get a chance and am not too tired of sitting in front of the computer! That's a major reason I haven't blogged before this, since that's what I do all day already
