I am so loving have the house to ourselves! This has been a looooong time coming. I think it was something we really needed. I am of course missing Steven being gone, but he seems to be doing well and is very happy to be back with his friends in Ohio.
Everyday I go out of my way to clean up something extra. I have already changed my living room and dining room around. Ahh more space. I brought some of Corbin's toys downstairs and he's got a little play area now. He has even been much neater with his toys when he's downstairs. David has been great with helping me do the dishes after we eat so the kitchen is all cleaned up before we go to bed. Its been wonderful to be able to clean up, leave the house, and then come home and everything is still nice and clean. I can now walk around my house in a pair of boxers and a tank top and not worry about who's going to be walking through the door.
We haven't had internet or cable tv for about a week now, and it's like I thought, I think it was a blessing. For now, this makes me the focus of his attention. We play games together, heck, we've even been showering together. I know that sounds funny, but it used to be one of us would be at the computer or doing something else when the other would be showering. Eh, it saves money right?!
Yesterday he ended up with the day off, blah, but in a way it was a good thing. I fell at work and sprained my ankle pretty good. He took me to the hospital and was there to take care of me so I could rest my foot when we got home. He's called me twice today so far to make sure that I got to work ok, and that I was doing ok at work.
Just the feeling, or energy in my house feels a lot different. I love to go home now. When I am at home I feel at peace now, where as before, I just felt uck all the time while I was home. I'd just want to go take a shower and go to bed most of the time to escape all the crap.
No ones here now.... and I'm loving it!
