The Gallery – Celebration…alone time
Posted under The Gallery
Bit neglected this blog isn’t it? Just life ‘n’ stuff getting in the way but my head feels like it’s going to explode with thoughts which means I need to find some time and some peace to write.
All quite fitting because this week’s The Gallery theme is ‘Celebration’ …and I’m celebrating ‘alone time’. I need it, I crave it, I can’t get enough of it. Nothing restores me more than time on my own. I don’t need to be doing anything special, just pottering about is fine, even working if I absolutely must. But I need to be alone.
You can keep your spa days, your treatments, manicures, pedicures (with or without Japenese fish nibbling your toes), your nights out with the girls and all that jazz. I just want time on my own and then all is well in the world.
Alas the cureall Alone Time seems curiously lacking at the moment. Feels like I’m on a rollercoaster of school runs, work, house move related appointments, Christmas ‘stuff’, school ‘stuff’…it’s hard to know which is crowding out my inner peace the most…the people or the non-fecking-stop commentary of things to do/to sort/to think about in my head. I wish I could turn my mind off sometimes. I’d like to crawl in to my head and tell my thoughts to KEEP IT DOWN WOULD YA?
So, right now, I’m celebrating Alone Time. And I’m doing it in time honoured fashion…alone. So if you’re reading this, would you mind awfully if you just pootled off quietly and left me to it? I thank you.

MrMV is doing the school run right now. He get the cappuccino. But I get time alone. I win
Gorgeous photo. I so hear you with the alone time. I love it when Mill is in school and Bea has her afternoon nap. A whole hour and 30mins of pure bliss…………………………….I’ll leave you alone now, enjoy!
[...] I would usually feel sitting in on my own. Just as I was beginning to feel sorry for myself, I read this post and felt instantly better as I realised how silly I was being. I was suddenly so grateful for the [...]
i know precisely what you mean. and alas i’ve had too little of it myself lately. with hannah montana blaring from the other room, all i can do is sigh and envy you…
