In my little part of the Great Atlantic Northeast, it is hit or miss with snow. We are currently experiencing the third significant snow fall of the season. School was canceled a day in advance which is practically unheard of in our small town.
As you may or may not recall, Himself is a BDO or Behavior Detection Officer for the TSA at a major airport. He usually wakes up at 2:30 AM for his 4 AM shift. His drive is usually under fifteen minutes but I suggested he and a few of his buddies get a hotel room at the airport. The worst of the storm is supposed to be during his commute time.
So, The Boy and I are here in our warm home, he in his room probably playing video games and I in my living room,alone,typing this entry and watching an HGTV show I recorded. Ah, bliss. There is a knitting project and a new book on the floor beside me and I am content.
Being alone is fine with me. As a matter of fact, I covet my time alone. Himself doesn't get it and has gone as far as to suggest to at least one person from church to spend time with me so that I wouldn't be alone. Yes, I enjoy time spent with friends and family. But there is nothing wrong with being comfortable in your own skin at times, right?
Isabella is doing well. Can those of you who have watched her grow believe she is now five years old?! She is tall an beautiful and a delight. At times, she tries my patience so that I am sorely tested. Overall, though, we are still happy each time she comes home from school.
Hope you are all content and comfortable in your home and in your own skin.
blessings, g
I completely understand~ I've learned that alone-time is necessary to my mental health & so has my dear hubby :-)
ReplyDeleteGood to see you on here again Gail, thanks for this post. The weather sure is doing unusual things in many places this year. God Bless - Nita
ReplyDeleteAlone time comes in teensy moments which are few and far between around here. With a husband who works from home and five teenagers bombing in and out at all hours there is no longer any sacred "nap time" or "lights out issue". I totally get what you're saying! I hope you enjoyed every moment of your alone time!
