I don't think I will be saying I wish for time to myself for awhile. :) It's been a long week. I'm so grateful to Kelly and the kids who did remarkable here without me. I came home to a very clean organized house. Even the laundry got done!! I would say I should go away more often but sitting at the table with my family for dinner tonight is something I want to do daily for a long time to come.
I appreciate my parents so much for letting me stay there. They made things so comfortable for me. I could hear my mom upstairs working on her many busy responsibilities (i.e. cooking a big dinner for 100 alone!), and it was so frustrating not to be able to help! I found that the best thing I could do not to feel guilty was to use my time alone to the best of my ability and I felt like I accomplished some good things during my time in isolation.
Although it is great to have chocolate again, it is far better to be home with my wonderful family. It is amazing the simple things I take for granted every day. I am grateful for the opportunity I have had to reflect on all the little things that make my life so complete and how wonderful it is to be back!
