a night ALONE!!!

Last night, I had the evening to myself. Carl is at a conference. The kiddos were having an overnight at my moms. the house was completely mine!

After work, getting gas for my car and a few basic food items (yesterday was payday of course) I headed straight for the chinese food restaurant. I grabbed some general tso's to go, got into comfy pjs (well as comfy as you can be when the humidity is through the roof), popped in the best of saturday night live-will ferrell and curled up on the couch to enjoy my dinner. quietly. all by myself. it was wonderful.

i went up to bed at 7. i lit candles. i turned on music. i took a long time washing my face and putting lotion on. i read until 9. uninterrupted. it was wonderful.

of course i love my family, but having a night alone once in a while is absolutely... wonderful!
