He has been gone for a week now - We've had a week of quiet - no messes, no arguements. A week of not tripping over shoes in the doorway, dirty clothes in family room - no wet towels on the floor of the bathroom - when we can get him to shower. A week where the basement doesn't smell like teenage boy - A week where we only used 1 gallon of milk and 1/2 box of cereal.....
And guess what? We miss having him home. I must be crazy....
I tried to talk to him on the phone today - but he said he'd rather go play PS2 than talk to me... he can "talk to me whenever - I only get to play PS2 at Grandma's" He is getting very spoiled - because I called at 9:30 pm - to tell him goodnight..... apparently? He gets to stay up and sleep in becuase he is on "vacation" as I was so informed.
They really grow up just too darn fast. Well - he'll be home in a month and it will be back to the grindstone! Ok - maybe not a grindstone -but normal chores, fights, and an obscene grocery bill - all the items that come complimentary with a teenage boy

The rest of the story - Since that little boy has been at his Grandparents house - he has - washed all the windows of the house - inside and out - dumped the trash, emptied the dishwashers, did his laundry, straightened and put away the storage boxes gathered for moving, went on walks with Grandpa at 6:30 in the morning, emptied a large contractor's wheelbarrow full of dirt in to the garbage for us, cooked dinner several times, clears the table without being told, and still has time to play with his friends in the neighborhood!! Only arguments around here are on the origin of the universe after watching the Discovery Channel with his Grandpa!!
