"We all need time to be alone, to think, to dream, to wonder." -- Billie Roark
Alone? What is alone? I can't even pee alone these days! I think the only time I am alone is in the shower (and sometimes not even then) or working out at the gym (kids in childcare). It is hard enough to create a little me time, to sew or read or whatever, much less precious alone-time. There is always someone else's needs or wants to tend to. I had not really noticed how much alone-time was missing until my husband started traveling more for work. Suddenly, after the kids went to bed I had several hours to myself -- to do what I wanted without little hands hanging all over me. It was really nice. I know though, that soon enough, those little ones will be more grown and in search of their own alone time, non-mom-time. What will I do then? Probably crave for the days when they were right there by my side all the time.
