On A Child Free Day

 

 

 

Yesterday Chris took all the children to the farm for the day to mark calves and get a load of firewood.

I stayed home alone. A whole day at home.

Alone

 

This happens every so often and I'm both fortunate and grateful for the luxury of a day to myself. I love being home together as a family, but I also enjoy my space.

Trouble is I usually write out this terribly long list of jobs to do and feel guilty if I stop to do anything fun. But not yesterday.

I hung out the washing.

I cleaned up the kitchen.

I folded the clean washing and put it away.

 

Then I finished off my 2013 project life family album. (or so I thought, last night it was disovered that I had missed Max's birthday. Ooops.)

Then I watched 3 episodes of Call The Midwife on dvd and knit and knit and knit.

I'm not far off finishing my very first cowl knit in the round.

 

And I did not allow myself to feel guilty, I just relaxed and did as I pleased.

Today I'm content to do the jobs that need doing.

It was a good day.
