Trying to blog my way to happiness...
I'm feeling lonely today. I went from Christmas break which was no break (2 weeks with my parents) right back to work which is a schedule that is juxtaposed to my husband's. I haven't gotten any quality alone time with my man in weeks. And I am just now finally winding down from my folks' visit. It is GORGIOUS outside and I have no one to be out with. I have plenty that I could do around the house, but I would just love to relax and enjoy a day off. Much as I love an appreciate my al-anon meetings... I am sort of excited that because of Matt's classes, starting next week, I wont have the car to go. I don't tutor Fridays so I could actually have a day I didn't have to go anywhere! WOW! That makes me happy. :D I think today I will work on doing some picking up in our bedroom. Maybe if I make the room all neat and pretty that will cheer me up. I guess I should plan something to eat. I think I am also down because on some level I feel as if I got cheated out of my Christmas. With my folks constantly around, and being at other people's homes, not having many meals together and not getting to see my husband much...It just didn't feel like we ever had a real Christmas. Next year (as I wanted this year) I hope that maybe my folks can visit at another time, and maybe Matt & I can have out own Christmas just the two of us. Our tree is still up, and maybe before I take it down we sit on the couch one more time and enjoy it. I don't have time to decorate this week, but I am getting anxious to get valentine decorations out. I am also going nuts for a vacation. I stayed up late last night trying to find somewhere we could go for a two or three day trip that wouldn't cost much. I just need to get away for a bit. Well I am trying to take care of myself anyway.
