The house is a little empty...

So mom and LK are at grandma's house for the next week or so.  Mom needed some time to fully adjust to the whole newborn baby thing (understandably so) and grandma is just the ticket!  Meanwhile, back at the hall of Justice, I'm holding down the fort as best I can.  Although I'm starting to see clothes/dishes/and other items find their way to the floor/kitchen/etc.  Maybe that's the bachelor life for you, though I'm thinking it's just because work is really starting to wear on me.  Hopefully after my big project is done, I'll be able to get back to a normal life...although LK and mom will be home by then...so I guess "normal" isn't necessarily a good way to put it.  Maybe, "less active"...no wait, that won't do it either.  Um, "less stressful"??  Nope.  I guess I'll just settle with "just as stressful, busy, and hectic, only much more fun now that mom and LK are home!". 

This week has been nice, but more bittersweet than anything.  It's nice that I've been able to get a full nights' sleep for a change, and that I can focus on work a lot more.  Of course that's one of the reasons that LK and mom are at grandma's.  Anyway, I can't help but feel weird coming home and not having anything to do.  I mean I could always mow the grass (which it needs really badly) or clean the house (again, which it needs really badly) but it's just kinda empty here without my wife and son.  Empty and extremely quiet.  Don't get me wrong, the quiet time is nice and I know all the parents reading this are saying "treasure these moments as if they were your last!!" but I definitely miss the voices of my wife and son. 

Again, I will just sum up my feelings here with one word: bittersweet. 

I will leave with one note though on one thing I've been doing with my free time, and that's watching movies.  I watched:

-the Skeleton Key (cool movie...creepy thriller type movie, but not a horror film)

-Ultimate Avengers (nerdy super hero cartoon movie...HULK SMASH!)

-Tombstone (for the 234234235521th time)

It's been fun being a bachelor for a little while, but I'm so ready for mom and LK to come home!  Well, it's super late (10 p.m.!!!...I'm officially an old man for being sleepy at this time) and I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow.  Dad signing off...
