So, in a quick turn of events, I find myself at home...alone. It is weird. Where is everyone?
Todd has the three youngest at his mom's and the farm house. He has some property to look at with a friend and a bull dozer guy. Plus, he took his new deer blind up. He looked like a spoiled boy pulling out of the driveway.
My oldest is on a spur of the moment camp out. He has been prepping for this for a week, maybe a couple. They were waiting for the weather to cooperate, which has been very un-cooperative. He and a friend, equipped with much survival gear (and their phones) have pitched a tent on the river.
It is sure to be a memory maker of a night for everyone. But, for me, what am I to do? I long for time to myself, and now that I have it, I have no idea what to do with myself.
It's quiet, but I don't feel like napping. I could go out, but it's the Friday night of spring break and everyone from school just wants to relax (at home). I could catch up on Facebook and then be exceptionally unhappy with myself for wasting all that time. I could read, would be if I was into a book right now.
The dog is barking, finally someone who needs me. I do have to do chores with no boys here to do them. I might watch some TV. The remote is never in my control. It looks like a night of rom-coms or tear jerkers. I haven't enjoyed any chick flicks for quite a while.
Check back with me tomorrow. I'll probably be right here, with nothing to show for my treasured time to myself, just sitting and doing nothing. Oh, the joys of nothing.
Enjoy your evening of nothing!!! I always love those days, even if I, too never know what to do with them!
