Ditto but I do have a fantasy that involves DH & 3 boys going away for 4 days. Day 1, I get to clean the house from top to bottom. Noone around to mess up where I have just tidied. Change sheets to white ones, have a bath & get into bed early with a good book. Day 2 - wake up, lie in bed realise I am alone in house. Feel the cleanness all around me. Bliss. Get up go to kitchen to make coffee - wow it's still clean from yesterday.Quote:

i am however confused about how this became my fantasy. When did raunchy get replaced with tidy????:confused:
I realize that with 2 boys and one husband, I'm only alone during the day when I'm supposed to be working, or riding the bike.
I would love an evening alone -- and I would buy a big stack of mystery books, order sushi and buy a really good bottle of white wine and drink one glass (OK maybe 2) and do nothing but read.
Sign me up!
let me introduce you to the UPS Man/Boy;)Quote:

It's going to be a long few days, but at least we can talk on the phone. I'm sure I'll keep busy. Already have a long list of everything I need/want to do this weekend.

so Zen does he have nice biceps from lifting all those packages?:DQuote:

I'm glad to have her home all the time now so we can have a more normal life, although I did enjoy it when she went to her moms overnight last week. :p
My husband is a freelance writer who works from home; our daughters are homeschooled. Time alone?! What's that?? :confused: No wonder I resorted to long-distance cycling!:) (And even then, DH is along for the ride at least several times a week.) But, I wouldn't change it for the world!
The rare "home alone" time includes loud music and cleaning, cleaning, cleaning.
UGH, cleaning! :rolleyes:
I play with my lapidary stuff - listen to music and dance around the house, build a fire in the woodburning stove. Drink tea, check out my forums. Sometimes sew or knit or read.
My kids are in and out (they moved out, but I'm the way station in many ways!)
Today I'm alone for most of the day. My partner took off by bike (then ferry) to Vancouver Island to chair a provincial cycling advocacy meeting. He won't be back until 8:00 pm tonight or so.
So I cycled 40 kms. solo ...and then did some minor grocery shopping. Oh those goat cheeses hit my wallet... :D Relaxed and had a rosemary foccacia bread slice and coffee there. Cycled home in rain.
Been here at computer after hot shower.
Life is just normal when he's not around...just as normal when he is around at home. When he is around, on weekends, we are cycling together often.
Hey, who says they have to be mutually exclusive? Maybe you need to tweak your fantasy! ;) :DQuote:
