My parents left yesterday after visiting for 7 days. We had a nice visit, my dad helped me with some projects around the house, and the kids were spoiled rotten. However, I found myself craving “alone-time” today. Time where I wouldn’t feel like I had to defend my every move. Time where I wasn’t stressed that my dad was upset the kids were behaving so “poorly” (to him, anyway). Time where I just wasn’t “on.” So I did errands– mainly returning items that I’d been meaning to return for some time. But to be alone today for a couple hours was glorious! I’d feel like a new person if it weren’t for my darned headache. Oh well, life is far from perfect. Plus, next week Scott is taking the kids on “vacation” for 5 days! Now that is REAL alone time. I can’t wait. Just thinking about it makes my head feel a little bit better. Imagine how great I will feel when I have the house to myself? Ohh, it’s too much to handle right now.

 Nite-Nite.
