I miss my kids

Yeah, I said it and I'll say it again. I miss my kids. They have been with their grandmother all week. This is also ABM's first week on night shift, so I have been home alone every night. Pining for my husband and kids has never been my thing. I've always made fun of those women who do everything with their families. "Get a life!", I'd say. I usually cherish every moment that I get to myself. Right now, though, I would be lying if I didn't admit that I am a bit lonely. I don't know what to do. I have a full Tivo list and plenty of reading material, but nothing is grabbing my interest. It won't be any better next week, either, because the kids are all going to sleep-away camp. I guess I'll go to bed early :-(.
