Home alone

Sitting here at home...alone...


What to do, what to do, I am at a loss for what to do.  Ok, so there are hundreds of things that I could be doing right now, but none that I really want to do.  Days like today do not happen very often.  I wake up, my husband already leaving for work and I proceed to get the kids ready and send them off to school.  On a typical day, I too have already started my work day, but today is my day off and I come home to an empty house, a lonely house.  I should be thrilled that I finally have a moment to myself, to do those things that sound so good when I have no time to do them.  Instead, I look at the clock and count down the hours until they get home.  I will keep myself busy, which usually means online browsing and hopefully accomplishing at least a few household responsibilities.  I am thankful that days like today are rare because in my happy joyful place, I am surrounded my giggles & groaning, hugging & tugging, smiles & screaming, and mommy I love you's.
