Clean Truck

You know you're not single anymore...when you finally get to clean out your truck and your kids don't even recognize the vehicle anymore...You used to keep your truck clean on the outside _and_ the inside...Now between running kids from practices and going swimming and general activities, you are lucky to have a day when the truck will remain noticeably clean...Even now, you realize your truck is on a four hour countdown before it has the "lived in" look again!

Yardwork

You know you're not single anymore...when the only time you really get to spend to yourself is when you weed eat the yard...You know that your bedroom, your office, and even your bathroom is not really "yours" but "ours" so you never really consider them your own private places....Consequently, if you need some time to think, you find outdoors work really helps...especially when you have a 2 acre lot with a creek that perpetually needs weed eating... Of course, because of the sheer size of your yard, you could spend an entire week working on it and still have plenty of work to do...You are glad you do have some time to yourself so that you can enjoy the time you have with the rest of your family!

Morning Smoothie

You know you're not single anymore...when your daughter confesses that she got up early today to make your breakfast smoothie mainly because she knows you sometimes do not run the blender long enough and the bits of ice leftover you chew and the resulting sound grates on her nerves...Well, there you have it...At least we live with brutal honesty in our house.

Early Morning

You know you're not single anymore...when you wake up an hour early and realize you have a quiet house to do some work...You've never thought about getting up early to work on your stuff...you used to just stay up late to catch up on work...but with the daily activities of night time, you wonder if getting up early is the way to go...Of course, you then wonder how little sleep you can get by with and survive!
