This morning I woke up from a shitty dream that put me in a really foul mood, so I've been avoiding the internet all day. There's enough hostility without me adding to it. It's also a good thing that Sundays have always been my husband's guy day, because irrational or not, he'd have probably been my main target. He just got home and I'm fairly docile now, so that's good.
I really didn't want to leave the house at all, but I did suck it up and go to church. I'm really glad I did, not because church was anything spectacular today, but because my parents kidnapped Pie. Outstanding! Oh, and they took her shopping, which boils down to more piles of stuff we don't need. That's okay, though, because now maybe she'll stop whining about all the creepy toys I got rid of last week.
So, basically, I had the house to myself all day. There was a time I'd have taken full advantage of that, but you know what I did? I slept. And I cleaned. Oh, and I played some video games and did about 40 seconds worth of video editing. Neato! I pretty much wasted an entire day. My house is immaculate, though, so I suppose there's that. Not that it's very interesting or anything.
In other news, now that George's work schedule is slowing down, I'm thinking of taking a class. I haven't decided what yet, but I'm really looking forward to it. There's so much I wanted to take, but could never fit in, and I'm glad for the opportunity to go at it from a laid back, personal enrichment standpoint. Should be fun and I'd love any suggestions.
Also, since we're probably the least responsible people that ever existed, we've decided to forgo making the rest of the house look nice (yeah, ugly living room wallpaper, I'm looking at you) and instead focus on creating a home theater in our creepy basement. We never have company anyway, but we do watch a lot of movies, so I guess that makes sense. I did some rough sketches of it the other day and it will be awesome!
Holy hell, I just re-read this and came to the realization that I'm even more boring than I realized. My brain is soupy right now. We have neat plans tomorrow, so hopefully that will be more interesting.
Feeling bad because I snuck on quick last night to read this, but didn't have time to comment.
ReplyDeleteA day is never a waste when you get to do what you want and I know being alone is really what you want, actually need. It's funny because as a young child, I didn't like to be alone, then I got a bit older and realized I liked being alone to read and such (big family, rare to be alone), then I decided I "needed" a boyfriend and wanted to be with "him" (whoever the random him was at the moment) every waking second. Got married and had kids and now I'm back to craving alone time. I imagine as the kids get older and I get more alone time I will start enjoying being with others more...
And really this rant had hardly anything to do with your post, so sorry...
No apologies. Comments make me happy.
ReplyDeleteI've had a lot of me time lately, which is confusing and sometimes makes me feel like a shitty wife and mother. Then, I remember this is not the norm, and I'll take it while I can.
I've never been one to want to be around a boyfriend every moment, but when I first had Pie, I couldn't imagine a day when I'd want someone else to take her. It took a couple years, but now, any time my mom asks, I'm like, "Score!" Wait... That makes it sound like it happens all the time. It's usually only once every couple weeks or so, and normally only for a couple hours.
When I grow up, I hope to become a hermit. With internet access.
