Last Night of Alone Time

20th August 2007

I am enjoying my last night alone as my daughter and husband come home from California tomorrow night. It’s not that I’ve done anything spectacular, it’s just that I’ve really enjoyed some downtime from everything. I haven’t had to cook, I’ve been eating leftovers and I haven’t had to do the continual clean up. I straightened up the house the day they left and surprise! it stayed straightened. I was actually able to have a friend come over & visit and it was just so relaxing to be able to sit around and just talk. I can’t remember the last time I’ve done that, I felt human again. I also allowed myself to go shopping today, for me! Something else I rarely do. It was nothing exciting, just shopping for a new bra, but it’s hard to do that when you’re with your kids. I met my friend today at the mall and I actually went to Victoria’s Secret to get fitted and buy a new bra. They weren’t even on sale, a total splurge for me! I was in desperate need so I told myself to get something that fit and was comfortable, no matter if it was on sale or not. I would’ve purchased more than one had they been on sale, but one is a good start. I’ll wait until they have their next sale and go back. I know exactly what I want now so I won’t have to try anything on, makes it easier.

The only other living being I had to take care of the last three days was our puppy Plinko. Amazingly, even she seems more relaxed, if that’s possible. She’s been so good and her potty training has vastly improved. She has only had once small accident in the house each of the last 3 days. She didn’t even have an accident in her crate this afternoon while I was out shopping, I was so happy!

Since this is my last quiet evening, I’m going to go read, in peace.

It really is nice to have some alone time. But, it’s good when they come home, too. If the house is empty too long I’m not sure what I’d do with myself! (Besides sleep…I would sleep a LOT!)

I know what you mean Leann, I am looking forward to them coming home. It’s the last few days before school starts and then I will have plenty of days alone. I did get a lot of computer time and reading done though, I enjoyed it!

It’s certainly nice to have down time. My girlfriend stayed at her mom’s tonight and I had a good time just kicking back without having to make sure she was ok.
