Home Alone...Finally!

This past week could’ve made parental headline news because it was a rare instance where I was home alone…and for the weekend! WhoopWhoop! Don’t get me wrong.  I love being surrounded by my family and all the duties that parenting involves but there is nothing like having some time and space in solitude to manage the household chores or in fact, ignore them completely!

 Talk about the ultimate rest and relaxation!  Here’s a list of things I did and did NOT do in my “free” ME time:
  • Binge watch recorded DVR shows till after midnight.
  • Sleep in until nature calls.
  • Ate cereal on the couch.
  • Stayed in my PJs.
  • Did Yoga in my PJs.
  • Not do the dishes. 
  • Joined friends for an awesome Black Panther movie night.
  • Met other friends at a bar and made new friends.
  • Attended a dance theatre production.
  • Ate Ethiopian food with another dear friend.
  • Cleaned house and finally did the dishes.
  • Completed my 37th trip around the sun. 
  • Opened the windows and enjoyed the rain and 60+ degree weather and 
  • continued to do absolutely nothing.

Now, you won’t find shopping, nails done and hair “did” on this list because ​I went went the flow of things and if it required too much energy on my behalf or others then it wasn’t going to get done. Plus, I already did those things last week.
I appreciate the blessings of momentary solitude because it’s how I recharge and rebuild my own psychological and physical force so that I may have positive and present interactions with others. It takes a lot of energy to be engaged all day, everyday, so I’m grateful to my spouse and kiddos for giving me the time to rest, recharge and refocus until they return from their weekend travels.
Is it just me or is being home alone (when you have young, school-age kiddos) a rarity? How do you spend your "me" time whether is a few hours or a few days? I’d love to hear from you!
