The Imp is gone to work a retreat this week. She left Friday afternoon and I go to pick her up this Friday. Saturday we hosted our couples' prayer group, and I was so focused getting my house and food ready, I didn't really notice she wasn't here. Sunday the Singer, Hubby and I all just relaxed and read books. She would have been doing the same, so her absence was not keenly felt. Yesterday, however, as I had the house to myself from 7 am till 6 pm, her being gone screamed in the silence. I sure pray she's having a good week. She is actually facilitating the retreat (running it with other teens to train kids to facilitate weekend retreats). Some of her cohorts really enjoy Drama in their lives. The Imp has limited patience for that and I'm sure she'll come home ready to hole up in her room for a day or two for some alone time of her own (and some sleep).
I can't believe school starts in 5 weeks already. Somehow the summer always flies by. I'm ordering the Imp's textbooks this week. I'm also attacking her bedroom closet. I hope I survive. It will feel good knowing it's cleaned out and getting rid of some of the little girl stuff she no longer uses/wants.
