[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 216487, member: 179"] Why do you think I get up in the middle of the night every night? ;) No parrots screaming, no H...just me. I have to say having H gone for the last month has been nice. No TV on all the time, not having to worry about dinner plans, if I want to go to bed at 8pm, I do, etc. Inlaws want my daughter and I who is coming up this morning :happyguy:to go 2 hours north for a belated Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. I just want to stay home and spend time with her. Still trying to figure out how to gracefully get out of that. I'm a very people oriented person, but when the work day is done, I want to just chill and do things *I* enjoy and putter around the house getting things done. I guess it's easier for me because I have no kids at home, except one grumpy guy and the birds. Ok...I guess I have 4 kids at home. Oddly enough, sound is a huge issue for me. I can't stand having the TV or stereo on 'just because we need sound.' H always turns the TV on at 5am [B]LOUD[/B], then proceeds to go downstairs and do something else. Ummm...hello? You're not even watching it. I turn it off, he turns it back on and the cycle begins. I like the quiet. Right now all I can hear is the hum of my computer and the heater. Perfect. Yes, alone time is essential. Abbey [/QUOTE]
