I'm just gonna say it...I love being alone.
I really, really do.
Of course I love not being alone too...I love our little family of four and treasure any time spent with them.
There's just something about those rare, stolen minutes when I have nothing to think about but myself, no one to please than myself, no one to take care of but myself. Whether it's a trip to the grocery store, a doctor's appointment, or a walk after dinner, I live for these moments.
It's what I miss most about my life before the words 'wife' and 'mother' applied to me.
It's the only thing I miss.
Because this life...this husband...this son and daughter...THIS is happiness.
Totally get this. As much as I like friends and family, I NEED alone time to be sane. As much suckiness as there is with Matt and I having conflicting work schedules right now, getting a few hours that the apartment is all mine at night is pretty sweet.
