Too quiet
Filed in archive Parenting by Michelle Donahue Hillison on July 21, 2008
It started out really fun but eventually it was too quiet and too lonely for us.
Day One:
Sleep really late because no children to wake me up.
Play video games
Eat one course meal from a bowl in the living room, without a napkin
Day Two:
Stay up really late because no kid to get ready in the morning
Play video games
Leave clothes randomly around house
Eat fast food (feel sick)
Day Three:
Sleep really late
See R-rated movie on opening day!
Snuggle with dogs because no child needs me to snuggle
Sadly look at judy blume
novel, consider if I'd be a dork if I read it without a child.Day Four:
Sleep less late and wake up Saturday morning without a small arm tossed around my neck.
Consider watching a new Suite Life with Zack and Cody, conclude maybe H20 would be better.
Feel sort of guilty playing children's video games without a child.
Look sadly at the pile of sports clothes in the downstairs bathroom - no one to yell at to pick them up.
Call child and make plans to retrieve her
Day Five:
Listen to the too quiet house
Sit at home and wait until we can go get her
Go get her.
