Alone Time

[Princess-P]

So... Something wonderful happens once a year. I look forward to it so much...

 

I. Am. Alone.

 

It might seem strange to some that this is a good thing. But once a year my Daddy goes on a golf trip and at the same time my daughter goes camping with my parents.

 

While I love my famy I really enjoy getting this tiny bit of completely me time. There's no house work, no meals to make, no laundry to do, I don't even have to make the bed if I don't want to. I can watch what I want on TV, go to bed early if I want, read, draw, anything... And no one can interrupt me.

 

I live with my Daddy... For over 8 years, we have a 5 year old. We all see each other every single day and while alone time for an hour or so is not that hard to get, some real deep consuming alone time is ultra rare. And absolutely wonderful.

 

So now I'm curious, for those of you who live with your partner, or who have kids, or live with someone who you see all the time and spend a lot if time with... How do you enjoy your alone time?

@OP;

 

Everything about this makes such complete sense, and as a extroverted introvert, I identify with this feeling so hard.

 

I can totally be around people, and I would even consider myself a people person on my best day. But when I'm done interacting with others, I am done. I need my space, I need to be silent, and I need to be alone. When I get my alone time, I tend to do quiet things that don't involve much talking, like marathon television shows, nap, or read. I'll also strut around the house naked if I've got the place to myself! Teehee!

 

I also prefer to color alone. I think it's a sensory thing.

YES! It isn't easy. We have worked out where I can go have a girls night out twice a month. This year I'm going on vacation to see friends by myself. (Daddy will have the kids.). He got me the flight Bc he said I needed the time to be me
