There has been a lot of discussion on my LJ friends list the past few days about kids' activities and the angst they can cause. I think I must be somewhat unusual. MOST of the time, I love that my kids are busy doing things they love and don't mind that it sucks up nearly all of my time because...well, I don't know what else to do with my time, I ( Read more... )

I do not love driving to be honest and am not all that great at it, but I like what driving does for me and since being in the car has now been highly correlated for me with quiet alone time or at least "listen to music and don't bug mommy" time, it makes driving palatable.

I really loved driving for a long time because of that correlation! Sometimes it's still good.

Until Luci quit screaming her head off in the car all the time, I did not make this correlation. Now it is one of the most peaceful places I can be. NOT TRUE when they were all toddlers/preschoolers.

You know, I was re-reading this and it's interesting to me that you can enjoy driving as a time to listen to music and not get bugged, but are so at a loss as to what to do with yourself HOME alone, when there are so many more options!

My main problem with being home alone, historically, has been being creeped out in a paranoid horror movie/home invasion sort of way. Now that only really manifests sometimes, at night :p

Except I can only listen to music and not be bugged for an hour or so before I can not stop myself from beginning to think again and then I get sad and lonely. Usually about four hours is my limit. I can find ways to be blissfully happy doing my own thing for about four hours. Then I sort of snap out of it and it is suddenly horrible. I don't know how to explain it, that's just the way it happens for me.

I understand.

And honestly, for me personally - I almost never have MORE than 4 hours, whether I'm out writing, out with Grant, home alone, whatever...so I don't really have the chance to see how long I can go before it gets old.

I've been having a lot of fresh pangs of wishing you lived closer, lately.
