A Gift

Today I was given a gift that was very difficult to accept.
I spent the entire day alone.
It was a strange feeling at first.
I soon became accustom to it... and liked it.
I finished the laundry
I finished the dishes
I mowed the lawn
I ran some errands
I had my nails done
I ate lunch in silence
And then...
There was a lull in the afternoon when I was longing for my family.
So... I painted my bathroom. :)
Thank you, Jason for giving me such an incredible gift!
(and for taking the kids for a fun day out, too!)

Wow... I know that feeling. It's too quiet!

What a nice gift to be given! Is Jason asking for one now? :) He seems like the type that would LOVE that.

Sounds like a great day! It always feels good to accomplish tasks and then pamper yourself. Happy Tuesday to you.
