It doesn't happen very often. And I was looking forward to it.
I was going to be home alone for a couple of hours!
Does that sound boring to you? or lonely? Well let me tell you, it's neither of those things for me. I relished the thought.
And it happened. Ironman left the house early. I.T. Girl left about 8am. And Dancer Girl left about 10am. And so from 10am until 1pm I was HOME ALONE!!
Ahhhh the house was so quiet. Peaceful and quiet.
Love, love, love having time alone at home.
What did I do?
I cleaned up my house!!!! It's actually quiet enjoyable to me. I started upstairs and worked my way down. Laundry, bathrooms, changed linens, vacuumed every single room, shined every single mirror.
Yes, I could have painted my toenails. I could have watched a movie. I could have taken a nap!
I like to keep house. And it's so much easier to clean when you are alone. When things are clean and tidy and sparkling I am more relaxed and peaceful.
I guess I'm officially............... settled. Did you think I was going to say "over the hill?"
Ha!
What do you like to do when you have a few hours alone at home?
I love being home alone, but the closest I get is when the hubby is at work and the kids are napping. I love to read and write when I have the house to myself, but I usually end up doing laundry or cleaning up. Ah, the mom's life! :)

I clean the house too! My favorite day is a weekday I have off, kids at school, hubby at work, and I can clean the house top to bottom and still have a little time to sit and enjoy it while it's at it's freshest. A clean house calms me, and I'm totally okay with that!
