Home Alone

This is for you Mom! You always want to know what I do when I'm home alone.
Let's see, it's Monday and Chase has been gone on a job since Saturday night. Before I go any further, I do love my husband and I do miss him, BUT........I sure do love being alone too! I even like to vacation alone! So Chase is gone several weeks out of the month and that leaves me...home alone. The moment he walks out of the door, I metamorphasize. I lay around in PJs, drink out of the carton, order pizza smothered in anchovies, and rent as many chick flicks as I can possibly find. I don't turn out any lights when I leave the room, I leave my dishes in the sink, and I let the dog sleep in the bed! I become a little secret rule breaker.....for no good reason either. I can do this for about 3 or 4 days.....and then I realize that the trash needs to be taken out, the poop needs to be scooped, and yard needs to be mowed. I start to miss having Chase around to do all those little things I hate. More than that, I really think I just miss having him around to tease me that my anchovies make the house stink and dogs don't belong in the bed. Thats when I realize that watching chick flicks and leaving all the lights on is not near as fun as sitting on the porch in the evening with a cold drink and my best friend next to me.
