So last week our latest batch of roomies moved out. It was a very dramatic, unexpected ending, and suffice it to say I'm pretty sure the friendship is over for good. And I'm not even broken hearted about it. It feels like HEAVEN to have our home back, with no other families living there with us. Even the girls have told us how they love having their own rooms back. No more playing keep away and fighting the bed time fight. Now I can put them to bed in their own beds, without an audience, and shut the door and let them relax and find their peace and not have to worry about each other.
Of course, it also means less dishes, less house cleaning, not waiting to use the washer/dryer,
no children fighting no children fighting with other children I cannot punish, and just no melding of different rules, lives, and social backgrounds. It's like I've gained 2 hours in my day! I can hear quiet harmony, feel the spirit, and remember what it is like just to buy things for myself and my family without having to worry about covering the bills of 4 other people.
Ah.... :)
AND in case you were wondering, NO NO NO, there will not be other roommates again. Just ask our friends or our Bishop. They have all offered to be the person to say NO WAY! to the next individual that even looks at the office/spare room. So much less stress on my shoulders as the primary worker!
