Kids Return to School

Well, today is H & O's first day at Christ Episcopal School in LA. They were very apprehensive about the new school. It is a 20 minute commute each way so I am a bit unsure of this new venture myself.
I spent my first day of kidless unemployment doing the following:
I took the back roads home so I can find some new shops & restaurants.
I wandered aimlessly around the house.
I played some games on my new iphone.
I did some laundry & light cleaning.
I looked out the window a few times.
I filled the bird feeders.
I took a nap.
I had some prayer time.
Spent some time on facebook & looking at real estate in the area.
All in all, a pretty relaxed day. In a few minutes I will leave the house to venture out on I-12 to pick up H & O from school. This routine will probably get old fast. I am considering getting a job (maybe going back to teaching) in the area around the school.

So far my extended time off without pay is okay. It would be great to find someone else that is home during the day to do stuff with. On the bright side, I've got some time to discern what I should do with my time. Also, it will give me some time to plan youth group!

Updates and pictures to come...
