Highs and Lows

This summer has been very strange for me. I have experienced many high and low days. There have been some days where I just stay in my PJ's. The high days are days where I usually already have something planned so I a happy because my day usually goes by fast. Yesterday was a great high day. I cleaned our house and went to the grocery store, so I was busy! Today I woke up and was very low. I don't really have anything to do today but work on my graduate course stuff which won't take long.

Saturday I was talking to Patrick and he kept asking why I was so down and I told him it is hard to be home ALL day and not talk to anyone. I am usually here by myself until 7:00 p.m.

Now don't get me wrong I love not having to work and get up early, but I do miss engaging in conversation all day. I do have friends down here but they have either been out of time or they are busy.

For those of you that know me know I hate to not talk, so this summer I have had to learn how to keep myself busy by myself! I have also realized that I really do love my job. I actually don't really mind going back next month.

So for all you bloggers that have someone at home or kids to talk to all day don't forget how blessed you are! :)

Oh Ali, I am sorry you are alone:(

I know how you feel. I hate being home alone for more than a few hours.

It nearly killed me when Brandon was away and the kids went to bed. I didn't know what to do.

Call me anytime you want to talk (even if it is in the middle of the day, I'm not always busy and am just sitting in the back watching TV)
