Oh my goodness! I do that! I LOVE to clean an empty house. And it ‘everything’ has to be done before I can sit down and relax. And oh how wonderful it is to be able to enjoy my efforts without anything being disturbed. Love it!

If I’m ever home on a sick day – I have to clean the house before I can curl up on the couch and rest. It’s crazy!! I can be faint and week, but I’m making sure the house gets tidied – just so I can rest better.

I’ve heard a lot of “Oh you must be looking forward SO MUCH to next year!” because my wee baby girl will be starting school and I’ll have whole days to myself.

No. I am not.

I hear ya. I’m taking all three kids with me to the coast next week…leaving hubs at home for FOUR DAYS. He will NOT know what to do with all the silence, and we are both people who Need Silence. He’ll go mad, I just know it.

Just this past weekend, my hubby and I took a half day off work on Friday to go out of town, just the two of us. Planned to stay in a motel about 35 miles from home and go on to another place on Saturday morning to spend the day. We got to the first destination and spent the afternoon just visiting a couple “antique” shops and lounging around the room doing nothing. Later in the evening, I told him if we decided to just go on back home the next morning, that would be ok, that our time had already been so good and relaxing. And that’s exactly what we did. My son asked why we even went anywhere to begin with. But that little while was all it took to rejuvinate.

I would love to have some solitude, I really need it to recharge but haven’t been able to get more then short bursts in quite a while. I love my children dearly but a quiet house for an entire day (or even a few hours) would be most appreciated

Like you, I need some alone time, but after a weekend, I’m ready for my babies (all 3 of them) to be back home.

But as for me and my house, we will live with lack of order. I’m sure that”s in the Bible…

I am not a person who likes quite or alone time! Now I do with 3 small children appreciate the time I get to occasionally go shopping alone. Glad you had a nice weekend!

I love my quiet times too but like you said after a bit we long for the company of others and the joy they bring..

i love this post. We are so much alike. I long for the solitude. For the order that it will bring. But, I can only take so much of it.
