Day 4 of Solitude

Okay, here I am on Day 4 of Emme being on a vacation with her daddy.  I thought for sure by now that I would be out of my mind with lonliness and wallowing in self pity.  Sometimes I surprise myself, however, and I have actually been okay, good even.  I had a couple evenings to myself in the new place, then last night had the older girls over for dinner -- which ended up turning into a sleepover.  You'd think that would have made me giddy with excitement, but actually I was quite hesitant and only gave in to the sleepover because the girls seemed so into it.  I actually was thinking how I kind of wanted my place to myself again...
For tonight I got a last minute invite to a concert at the Keswick Theater and actually had to cancel dinner plans with a friend -- who knew I would end up double booked!!!
Tomorrow is still a toss up.  I have plans, but would kind of like to cancel them to stay home and take a bubble bath with some candles and a glass of wine with music playing all by myself.
This is new for me.  Making plans to do something "by myself" instead of with someone is not something that I would normally do.  Perhaps I'm making progress :)
Emme comes home Monday afternoon and I will be so excited to see her and hear about her trip and will enjoy having her home, but it isn't quite the same kind of "I can't wait" as I thought it would be.  I really didn't quite get it before now how nice it sometimes can be to spend some time with just yourself.  GO ME!!
