Alone Time

My kids and the yayas are with my parents for vacation, and suddenly I find myself alone in the house. It is unusually quiet, and suddenly I wished the kids were here.  I did not even bother to cook since Ross is on duty, so I made myself a tuna sandwich instead.  It's funny how I would often wish to be able to spend some quiet moments alone, and now that I have  a few days all to myself, I find myself missing the kids...  But since this is a rare occasion, I might as well make the most out of this "alone" time to catch up on sleep, sit down and finish the Dan Brown book that has been sitting on top of my side table, clean up my closet, and in a couple of days I would be going home to fetch my kids and life would be back to normal again...
