Some alone time

I just know that I will be preaching to the choir of mothers and fathers who read this blog. I can almost hear you chorus your agreement that yes, you too would like some alone time. Some time to relax. To think. To plan. To ponder. To do nothing. Or hell, you may be one of those people that have already figured this stuff out and have it scheduled. I used to be one of those people. 
Show Offs.

Now however, life as I knew it has changed. My Hubby has finished at his driving job and is working to build his home based business. The good news is that he is now home every night of the week. He used to be away or asleep to start bat midnight at least 5 days out of 7. The bad news is? He’s home 7 days and nights a week. And I, I am prone to needing some time out from people in general. I blame my industry. People just drive me batty sometimes. Even people whom I love and adore and want to make babies with people. 
And so make some time I hear you say. Put it in your diary. Mark out an afternoon. An evening or a morning if need be. I will, I will. But how do I stop the phone from ringing. The emails from coming. Maybe I need one of those zen looking tents pictured above. Maybe. But doesn’t the idea of a blissful weekend just of you related stuff sound wonderful? Hot bath. Good book. Lay in the sun on a cool winter morning. Hot coffee. Warm scones. Mmmmm… 
So what are you plans this weekend? I know, it’s Thursday. I should stop daydreaming about weekends and get back to work. But really. Since my actual weekend will incorporate a baby shower, a 30th, and a poker night. I was kind of enjoying planning my blissful, people free weekend. 
What would yours look like? Your YOU weekend?

  1. Your weekend sounds pretty awesome. I will be in Yellowstone Park this weekend, but I'd rather be in Australia.

  2. Hubby needs a hobby. Something to get him out of the house at least once a week…Then you get your alone time. I know, even if they *say* they respect your need for alone time, it's not the same if they're prowling round the house, *looking* at the dishes you were going to do later, and reading blogs over your shoulder, and reminding you that you really should get around to harvesting the chilli bush like you promised to weeks ago.

  3. When I'm daydreaming about some alone time, I imagine checking into a five star hotel for the weekend – BY MYSELF. Room service, sleep ins and quiet are my ultimate fantasy. And yes, I have two children!

  4. I do even get to go the bathroom by myslef. really. i don't remember what alone time is.

  5. Hmm..this weekend i am planning on going to a food market.My "me" weekend would be lots of hot baths, lots of books to read, tasty food to munch on. Nice scenery to relax in. And a personal massage person!

  6. Early bedtime.Whilst lovely husband watches crap, I retreat to an early bed. Candles on. Music on.Door closed. He gets the hint. He deflects wandering children. I get peace.

  7. Oh, my!! Whilst I love the hubbster to bits, it would drive me mad to have him home seven days a week. Aaaarrrgh.

  8. I'm moving house – blluuueergh.However I have had some alone time for 2 days whilst I pack up the house. Clearly I am not doing that hahahahahaha!*pours another glass

  9. I have all day most week days, from 9-ish till 3-ish. And it's awesome! After 20 odd years (some of them VERY odd) of being a SAHM, I am now a SAHM with TIME ON MY HANDS!And I love it!I play games (Assassins Creed 2 is popular right now)- I watch DVDs – I read – I phone people – I play around with art and craft – and I also clean the house and cook and wash and stuff – but that's a small price to pay for 6 hours a day of bliss.

  10. Geez…. A lot of sleep, a lot of food and candy, and a lot of tv and movies…. That's it…. Simple and easy….
