I don't...In all honesty Rick, I'm with you. I don't want a weekend at a spa. I don't want a week in Tahoe with the girls. Oh sure, I don't mind a soak in the tub with milk & honey with a honey mask, candles scented with essential oils instead of chemical fragrances burning and a ripping good romance novel to read while I soak in too hot water. But more than that, I love Mondays. That's when everyone is gone for a couple of hours. The husband and kids are off and I have the house to myself. Without fail I always turn off the music/tv/computer...whatever electronic thing there is to distract me. I just listen to the birds, the windchimes, the breeze blowing through the trees...even the sound of silence is blissful. All the while I spend my time happily and serenely completing whatever tasks I've been wanting to work on. One day it might be building a box for my square foot garden. Another day I'm sewing reusable tea bags. A different Monday might see me on my hands and knees giving the floor a good scrubbing or reorganizing the pantry and cabinets in the kitchen. Whatever I might find to do that day, its just a real God/dess send that I can do it without the constant interruption of "Honey, can you help me with..." or "Mom, where is my...." Like you, its not that I mind those things. Its just that every once in awhile I just need a break from it. Because inevitably, I always put their needs first. I can do the bath anytime I want. But solitude to get my projects done...that's a precious commodity!Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00990896713274666504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546720810282359735.post-72769563792825934832010-04-02T10:50:42.581-07:002010-04-02T10:50:42.581-07:00psssst
