This
morning I woke up, hit the snooze button, and spent the next few minutes
relishing being in bed, alone, after a great night’s sleep. I was fully aware that i twill be my last
such morning for a while, probably January at least. I love it when you are
actually aware of a moment being precious and you can relish it fully.
My
relishing was abruptly ended with a fat cat jumping on the bed demanding to be
pet, then the other cat, wanting his share of attention too, and at that point
I figured that I may as well get up.
This past
week has been pretty great. After a
weekend filled with people (my mom, the kids, etc) I got to spend the whole
week alone and drama free, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Other than the required texts related to
picking up the kids tonight and planning the holidays, I had no contact with
the Ex. I spent my evenings either in
super productive mode, organizing everything in sight, which is hard for me to
do with other people around, or in total lazy mode getting into bed at 6pm
snuggled up with the cats and a good book, but the wonderful thing was that I
could do what I wanted. Other than work,
I had zero obligations this week, and it was wonderful.
Tonight I
pick up the kids at their mom’s, tomorrow morning I have to get up at 5:30am
for SS2’s hockey practice (Which thankfully his grandpa is taking him to so
though I do have to get him up and ready, I don’t have to get all 3 up and
ready and at the arena). Then the BF
gets home Saturday night and the following weekend the holiday parties
begin. From then to January i twill be
rushing, and planning, and logistics hell.
But this
morning, that few minutes alone, in silence, it was simply wonderful.
