Hello? Is anyone home?
Living alone sucks. People always say to me how great it must be to live alone, no one to answer to etc.
Well, today I walked in my house and I felt more alone than I have felt in along time . It was so quiet, there were no messages and the house looked exactly as I left it. I felt like I couldn't breathe. I didn't know what to do for a minute.
There may be no one to answer to, but there is also no one to say hey, how was the day? or taste the great cheese I bought today, or why don't you fix dinner and I'll mow the lawn?
Let me just tell anyone who fantasizes about living alone.... go get a motel room for a nite if you need to be alone, but cherish every day you walk into your house and there are people there happy to see you.
I try not to wallow in self misery and I rarely share about it, but today I was tired of pretending everything was ok, because it wasn't.
I did not want my blog to be a place to type about things like this. But today, it's all I got.
But on a lighter note, my softball slump appears to have moved on!! This is of great relief to me. I wasn't ready to hang up my glove and bat just yet.

Ouch...
I guess it must suck sometimes and who do you have to tell that too. A blog? Yeah it's not as good as a person.
Ummm, not sure how to respond to this post. You are much loved and we are always here if you need to talk.
Come home to our house tonight! It will be extra noisy with friends, but later it might make your quiet home a tiny bit more welcoming. We're having dinner at 5:30pm. A will be late. If you stay long enough you can give the girls a bath while A and I put the play structure together in the basement! xoxoxoxo
