Childless again :(

It’s that time of the year again – where my daughters go abroad for a few weeks to visit their dad and I’m left at home with the cat, feeling empty-nested…
This time I have had instructions on how to fill my days constructively though, so no wasting time behind the pc playing games of facebooking or any such trivia 
Only allowed to check mails and chat with them when they’re online – and knowing their dad it will be far, far less then what they’re used to 
So what’s on the agenda today? Making a start with my bedroom – that’s the main project of these weeks and well overdue, really, I hope I will be able to finish it 
– putting the fish tank back in order, even if we’ve only got the one clown fish now (Ziggy has been returned to the shop as he had outgrown the tank and kept jumping up out of the water and bumping his head on the light O.o) and baking bread. For a Sunday that will be plenty.
So girls, enjoy your holidays and we will see each other on the web
How are you supposed to know if they are online if you are only allowed on *when* they are online?
Sounds to me as if you will need to check constantly
Yep, that’s what I do now – keeping half an eye on FB constantly to see if anything moves there
Sometimes I catch them, sometimes I don’t – but eldest writes her ‘essays’ whenever she finds the time so we keep in contact behind the curtains
