Just a few days ago, I mentioned to a friend that I was getting pretty desperate for some time alone. Patrick's volunteer trainings were keeping him out late, which left me to parent solo. Kids were getting sick and my mind began to dream of time alone. I was longing for temps that stayed above 70 for more than a few hours, sunshine for days on end and no responsibilities. I was just wanting a break.
Little did I know in what form my break would come. The flu. I did get time alone...no one wanted to be near me. The sun has shown steadily for the last few days. I just wasn't awake to enjoy it. Our house was a comfortable 68 degrees (almost what I asked for). And, the no responsibilities part, that certainly came true. Of course I haven't been awake long enough to enjoy the fact that someone was doing the laundry, feeding the kids and keeping things humming along.
I guess next time I should be a tad more specific in what I wish for.
