ALONE TIME

I have never thought of myself as one who needed alone time. But I have found that I do. I guess I never thought I needed it, because I have always had it built in. Being a teacher I am home or at least done with work by 4:00. Brian always came home around 6:00 or 7:00. (See built in alone time) Time for just me to be in quite, watch TV, veg, whatever. Now I have - - - well no alone time b/c Tate is with me during what use to be my time. Don't get me wrong I love spending that time just he and I, but over the course of 2 years, no alone time starts to make this momma cranky. I was pleasantly surprise when Brian offered to take Tate to the gym, then run our BJs errand, Kohls, and Target. I first thought, oh I'll go to the gym too, but then Brian let me in on his plan that he was trying to give me some time to me. So I did my couponing, a little Jillian Michaels, talked to a friend on the phone, and swept the floor. It was fabulous and I was so excited to see my boys when they returned home.
