Ok, so I am NOT cut out to be a single mom. It's just not my thing...and I don't know that it ever will be. I need ME time sometimes! And thank goodness for my sweeter than sweet neighbors next door, Erin and Kenny, who have a sweet baby girl a year old, they asked if they could take Aspen to the park to play. It was so nice to have an hour to myself this week. I got the house put back together and spent some much needed thinking time. When they came back she said they didn't make it to the park because it was too hot, so they went to McDonald instead. And she said when they were leaving Aspen said "We can't leave without an icecream! That would be silly!" ha ha. That's my little girl! LOVE her so much!
It's been a bit lonely, but I've gotten a LOT done. I'm hoping to not go anywhere tomorrow. I feel like I've been on the run or had plans everyday, and I just want a day to NOT plan, and NOT go anywhere...I just want to be bored!
I've had a lot of time at nights though to spend some "Thinking time" which has been good for me. Sometimes I feel like I never think anymore...I just go through actions all day and I forget about me. I have a lot going on in my head, and a lot of things I'm working through and trying to make decisions on, so it's nice to have the quiet nights to just think.
Anyway, we will be glad to have Ashton back home. We miss him. Love ya!

Oh, aspen! What a crack-up. Sam would agree though... we can't leave the mall 'til we've had an orange juluis (I'm afraid I fostered that habit!).
I wish we lived closer so we could swap babysitting. i really, really REALLY wish that. Today maybe even more than most days.
Love ya girl. Are we still on for the movie next week? what time is good for you guys?
Now that we're in Providence, we're going to have to get together. Seriously. Every time I read your blog I keep thinking "she sounds JUST like me". I feel like all I do is run run run run run and I never have time to just sit on my butt and be bored. Or write, or get out my guitar, or sing/play the piano. All things I used to enjoy, things that used to be such a huge part of who I am. Now I'm just crazy mom lady who runs around with her head on backwards. It's nice to have an hour to yourself every now and again- I'm so glad you snagged some YOU time! You deserve it so much!
