I was doing okay until I began to eat the rest of the M & M's....

(The empty M & M jar....)

The family is gone.
The house is quiet.
The sheets and towels are washed and put away.
Toys are stored in the attic until next time.
The card games are back in the closet.
Borrowed baby items are being returned.
Floors are vacuumed and mopped.
Bags of garbage are put out.
The last remnants of turkey are eaten.
Missing the kids and grandkids....
....and I find myself eating way too many M & M's to fill the empty space...
