the weekend. a staycation
this past weekend Will and Lily went on a skiing trip to west virginia from thursday till sunday
a father/daughter trip they planned before we had even left there this past december
having lived mostly in apartments/condos, staying home alone in a big house has never really been something i have had to or wanted to do
don’t get me wrong, i like being alone
actually i love being alone but not in a big house
once Will purchased the plane tickets, i excitedly and nervously counted down the days with him
i thought about asking a friend to come and stay over with me while they would be away however, i chose to tackle one of my fears instead
and so, home i stayed
by myself (well, with Foxy really)
this was the first time i was away from both Will and Lily for this long since Lily was born
the first day and night was hard
i was filled with anxiety and fear
i hardly slept
but it got easier as the days went on
i didn’t do much of anything this past weekend
which was the plan really
with perfect seventy degree weather, i enjoyed an empty house with opened windows
on most mornings i sat in the backyard and enjoyed a quiet yard
and i watched movies
i watched a lot of movies
a perfect staycation in our own home
happy monday friends
hope you all enjoyed your weekend as well

Ah it sounds and looks lovely, but I know exactly what you mean. I am rarely at home by myself and when I am it just feels strange.

i know that feeling of being home alone but at the same time missing them… but you know, it’s sane for our minds from time to time 😉 and foxy’s a good housekeeper too!

@Mirari,
yes, it is good for us and for our sanity. i agree. and Foxy is the best. i would not have stayed home alone without him. that is for sure!
