Reminders

I just returned from dropping Caleb off at his first day of preschool. After walking into the empty house, the silence nearly knocked me over, but not before I jumped in the air and yelled "I have 2 1/2 hours to myself, woohoo!"

The truth is though, it is eerily quiet in here. Quiet enough, in fact, that for the first time in seven years I have heard my own thoughts and it scared me because, well....I seriously thought someone was in my house before I realized that those sounds were really coming from my own head.

As I was walking through the house I saw little reminders of Caleb scattered around; toy cars still laying where he left them just before he grabbed his backpack and climbed into the car on his first day of preschool...




...and I couldn't help but smile.
