With empty nest approaching for me, we are down to one child at home. With only 3 of us home now, without grandma or the 2 older kids, we are down 50% of the number of people in our house. I only do laundry once a week; I cook enough rice for 2 meals at one time because it’s hard to cook just 1 cup of rice; things are generally pretty quiet.
This week, my 2 older children are home! Back to more noise and more dishes to wash. But I am not complaining. I bought a bunch of food from Costco. Just like old times.
My son is leaving again in a day. His room will remain available for him when he comes home next time, whenever that may be.
