Hubs and I both work from home.
We need a two bedroom apartment, even though it’s only the two of us, because he, unlike me, talks!
If he thought too much (as he says I do)
And didn’t annunciate his words to keep our lives moving forward in ways my methods don’t,
Nothing real would get done…
This year alone we would not have:
Found a support group for empty nesters struggling to let go,
Packed up a house or two or three,
Arranged an estate sale,
Signed up for Obama care,
Made routine check-up appointments,
Repaired two, maybe three cars,
Dealt with a small claims court,
Dealt with car insurance(s),
Found deals at many hotels,
Plotted a road trip of 3,000 miles,
Moved to Florida to house-sit and stay with dogs,
Shopped for and cooked delicious meals prepared as I sat thinking…
Contacted real estate agents for property,
Rented several vehicles,
Sorted and sifted our storage units,
Chased down artistic projects,
and generally masterminded all it takes to live this nomadic life of ours.
That’s why our marriage works so well!
That’s why we need two bedrooms,
and you know,
I may think too much and he may talk but together we achieve a lot!
Well hello there! My name is Vivienne McNeny.
I am an empty nester exploring life as a Boomer…you could say I'm happily Boomering along!
As a homeschooling Mum I have finally quit the job of role model and mentor to my four children. I do what I want to do, eat when I feel like it, enjoy life with my blue eyed cowboy and clean my house once a month or so whether it needs it or not!
In true English form I write about the emergence of my true identity now that I can no longer hide behind my children as their Mum.
