My family went on a camping trip. They left Wednesday. I stayed home. It seemed like a good idea. I could get my work done. You know, the important stuff like getting the cloudy water out of the pool since there will be no cloud makers in it for a few days. Other interesting tasks like cleaning out the basement and straightening out the train table with no one to dismantle it. Oh not to forget school work with no distracting voices and bodies needing things.
I have done all of those things and more. Some are completed, some not. They could all be completed except the pool thing - that is going to take time. Truth be told it never was the fault of all of those others that I haven't gotten my work done - except well the pool thing - which I have already covered. It is me. I lack discipline without my distractions about. I wander and get bored. I like distractions, they give me energy. They motivate me because they show me that time is not mine. Life happens.
Quiet existence is well... nice, but give me back my NOISE!

WaaaWaaaaWaaaaa. Cry me a river O Queen of Solitude!
ReplyDeleteIs that what happens in the quiet?
All joking aside...I bet I'd feel lonely too. They'll all be home and needing you soon enough. Hang in there!

Sounds really lovely actually. I have a couple you could borrow for noise if you would like! Enjoy your quiet because like Kari said, "they'll all be home and needing you soon enough!" Happy day!
