Dad has been gone for several days, so the kids and I have been together non-stop for most of the week. This morning, I was getting them ready to go when my favorite boy realized that Mom was going to be alone (for about an hour and a half).

Favorite Boy: Mom, are you going to be all by yourself?

Mom: Yes.

Favorite Boy: What are you going to do?

Mom: I am going to exercise.

Favorite Boy: Wow, that's going to be really boring without us around!

Mom (looking serious, but smiling on the inside): It's going to be very quiet, but I'll be okay!
