well it WAS 19 days..
It's hard to keep myself occupied, because on days when the kids are gone, I use to clean the house and do things that I couldn't do when they were here.. then I wouldn't go out, I'd stay home.. drink.. and watch TV until I passed out.. first time in 4 years I didn't do that.
Now it's 20 days!
I made it through my first night alone!
