I've got a funny feeling . . .

Monte's parents have been wanting Isabella to come stay with them for a few days, so we decided since Monte has to go near there for work today he could take her up there. They left about an hour ago, and it is such a weird feeling for me to be home without having her here, even though this isn't the first time. We told her yesterday that she was going, and since then she has been talking a mile a minute about how excited she is to go, and telling us all the things she's going to do there. Her first words when she got up this morning were, "I'm going to Mama's (grandma) house today, Mama's going to be so cited to see me!" So for the next couple of days, it's just going to be Monte and I here, which will be kind of nice, but I'm sure going to miss that little girl too! I've got plenty to do while she's gone, I want to get lots of cleaning done, including bigger cleaning projects that don't get done as often as they should, like cleaning out the china cabinet, and washing everything inside. Right now it has a lovely layer of dust over everything, I don't remember the last time it got cleaned out. Before I had Isabella I did it once every month or two, funny how that works. :) I also have 150 little table decorations to make for the upcoming mother/daughter banquet at our church, there are only three of us planning it and doing all the work. And tonight, Monte and I are going on a date - dinner and possibly a movie, and shopping for a new lawn mower since ours went kaput at the end of last summer.
