And by alone time I mean having the house completely devoid of mammals with opposable thumbs that ask questions of me and expect meals on the table ..." <br /><br />Grace was right. This is a good place to come for a laugh...had a few while reading this gem. No, you are not awful. Caring for someone is HARD. Caring for someone you love is HARDER. Caring for someone you love who is in pain is EVEN HARDER. Caring for someone you love who is in pain and in space that is usually all yours is THE HARDEST. [Well, maybe there's something harder, but I can't think of it right now.]<br /><br />If I were you, I'd be planning a weekend solo escape to a quiet place, pronto. If husband can join you for coffee, he can probably scramble eggs. And if kids are in uni, they probably can as well. Eggs are one of those "golden foods", right? People should be able to live off them for a few days, at least, no? So buy a few dozen, and off you go!!!Holly @ Run With Hollyhttp://www.runwithholly.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770104768123714471.post-70929600223345529832013-10-29T03:22:32.708-07:002013-10-29T03:22:32.708-07:00I think most long distance runners like some alone...I think most long distance runners like some alone time. It's a part of who we are. I love my alone time when I run.

A Freudian slip? Or are you trying to keep him in line with threats of replacements. <br /><br />Thirdly - that cake is phenomenal! Oh. My. God. I'd seen the whole thing on FB but then it's got more chocolate inside.

Years ago my partner was an interstate truck driver and was gone all week, he stopped driving trucks about 7 years ago and I am still not used to him being around all the time!! Luckily he has a job now where he goes away on average i-2 nights a month. I don't mind that one bit!!annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13771839779749239686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770104768123714471.post-10455914740788566412013-10-28T17:27:45.359-07:002013-10-28T17:27:45.359-07:00"And I have some redeeming features.
