He's either downstairs or in his office. My DVR is there, my well worn spots in the couch. The ceiling fan hits me just right. The portable fan (I'm pregnant and live in Houston, I can't help the heat) hits me even more just right. <BR/><BR/>And my favorite thing I have bought for kidlet - little fricking denim hightop sneakers with puppy dogs on them. OMG cuteness. And we went out again yesterday. <BR/><BR/>My baby has clothes. <BR/><BR/>So.Many.Clothes. <BR/><BR/>At least I bought ahead in sizes though - lots of 6-9 month stuff.Trixie Twatwafflehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12712977707578497875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34742349.post-54993720476716534762008-07-25T10:15:00.000-04:002008-07-25T10:15:00.000-04:00In a word, no.I have occasional solitude during th...In a word, no.<BR/><BR/>I have occasional solitude during the school year; if I take my lunch break at home while everyone's out of the house, or if Willem is doing homework after the kids are in bed, then I can carve out an hour or so of my own. But during the summer? Not so much. My commute to work - all 2.7 miles of it - is done without the radio on, because it's my only guaranteed silence all day.<BR/><BR/>It's one of the reasons I hate our house - I don't have my own space. My husband has his office, the kids have their rooms, but I don't have an area that is solely mine.<BR/><BR/>I'm ready for September. And I'm even more ready for next summer, when we move to my dream house, and dammit, some piece of it will be just-mine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34742349.post-88843510455799477492008-07-24T23:20:00.000-04:002008-07-24T23:20:00.000-04:00I am still in the state where the kids follow me e...I am still in the state where the kids follow me everywhere...the bathroom is not an option at all, that is like bees to honey. I would have to say that if I really need alone time I go to the bookstore, plop myself in one of those big comfy chairs and read a book I have no intention of buying while sipping on ice coffee....AHHHHH!Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858837762734460051noreply@blogger.com
