Looking out the window

Addie is currently staring out the window. The rain is slowly drizzling down which means no trip to the park. But she is glum and grumpy for a different reason. I told her that our renters JJ & Heather are coming home today. They have been in Europe since May 19. She does not understand why I do not know every detail of their travel itinerary. I guess it was a mistake to tell her they were coming back today because even though I said I don't know what time and it could be late at night, she is disappointed that they have not already arrived. My feelings are more mixed. I really really like them as people. Heather is a wonderful babysitter. They are great renters. They are fun to talk and play games with. But I liked having the house to ourselves. I liked not worrying about leaving a load of laundry in overnight. I liked walking down our inside staircase at any time of night and not feeling like I should tiptoe. I liked not having to usher Addie out of her bedroom in the morning because I did not want the girls doing their noisy play & talk right above Heather & JJ's bedroom. I liked parking on the street right in front of our house since there is a big load of barkchips covering our parking spot in back. But yet I look forward to seeing them again. And not only because it will stop the endless questions from Addie.
