I am home alone for the first time in 7 years......

.....and it is freaking me out a little.

Why is that, I wonder? How long have I been saying, "As soon as the kids are in school, my business will be SO much easier for me. I can work all day!" So, why am I sitting here, all aimless and unfocused? Could it have to do with the fact my tiny little kindergartener just left on that big bus? Before I have a breakdown, let's talk about something else!

Yeah, it's the coolest.
