ZOMG! Home Alone

Well, almost.

The kids are at school, Patrick had a doctor's appointment and a therapy session so he's gone for awhile.  It's just me and Jack.  And he's taking a nap.  I forgot what quiet was. 

With Patrick off work it's never quiet.  He's always watching TV or playing video games.  It's overwhelming to me.  Heck, even my own TV watching became overwhelming.  After I took a really, really long nap (thanks to the vicodin Patrick insisted I take for my shoulder) I just couldn't bring myself to turn on the TV.  My head wasn't really hurting any more but the noise.  It was too much.  Instead I read my library book (Matched by Ally Condie).  I had started it the night before and got through like 5 chapters.  I finished it last night.  Well, more like early this morning.  Finally went to sleep around 1:30am.

Anyway, so I'm rocking the quiet time.  All there is, is the tap, tap, tap of the keyboard and the hum of the refrigerator.  I even have most of my chores done so I can just chill out.

I can't begin to explain what a relief this is.

Should probably get some writing done.
