That’s something I can rarely ever write. As I mentioned, Camille and I tend to be homebodies. From the time Camille was born up until last October, it was rare that I had any time during the weekday that I was home alone. On the weekends or the evenings, Rob sometimes takes the girls out for a meal or an activity, but during the day? I was rarely alone.
When we moved to Decatur last year and Chloe started going to school, all of a sudden I had a few hours a week at home during which Chloe was at school and Camille was off at her homeschool class. These are nice hours for me. I can sit and concentrate. I’m not answering questions or reminding about chores that need to get done. I can focus on what I need to do.
However, I just emailed the school counselor at the high school to set up an appointment in order to talk about next year. This will be a very big change. Both girls in school full time? And me home alone with the cat? Will this be great for me? Will I be lonely? Will I be able to make myself get out of the house every so often? Only time will tell, I suppose.
