The first day, I basically made up a lot of missed sleep. The house was sooo incredibly quiet. No loud crying, screams, or fighting. The house got cleaned up a bit, and we all got dressed.
There had been so many days, the kids or I remained in pajamas all day long...that Isaac resisted getting dressed. But we all got dressed, and I took the poor, neglected dog to get bathed and groomed. Omi did a great job!
Then all three of us took a long afternoon nap. After our usual bedtime routine, with the kids, Jason and I relaxed on the couch and watched "Country Boys" on PBS. Interesting reality-type documentary of some hicks, in an alternative school. I enjoyed it a lot, lol, and will be watching the finale tonight.
This morning, I woke up and the first thing that popped into my head was Michael's little face. And I was sad, thinking maybe I had just needed a day of rest? But then I remembered our day in a life with Michael, and realized we made the right decision.
