Readjusting

It has been a weekend of family.
Hubby and kids, dog, cats.
Neighbors family returning - dog too.
A lot really.

I have pined away for months to be in this situation, surrounded by family and friends...
however, the walls got a little tight yesterday.

I found it was a little much in a short period of time.

I am not used to my actions being monitored and questioned.

I am used to working with my own internal clock - which means loafing most of the morn and hitting it hard late afternoon.

(I hate finding lost items I didn't lose)

I am definetly NOT used to computer envy.

Setting what I do and when is how it works, or at least it has for the last 3 months.

I am adjusting to the extra adult body in the house (and I am sorry (and stop being offended)that it upsets you that I jump when I see a man walking into the kitchen... be happy that I am not used to it since you haven't been around cuz that means I am used to some other man walking around the house ;)

After being stuck at home for months and months it is all a bit overwhelming jonting from place to place. I have wanted to get out - yes, but - apparently I have been locked up longer then I realize!

And good God if you throw another map in front of my face (i.e. the entire US Atlas) and ask me where we should drive on a vacation in August- I swear I will run out of the house screaming......

I am sure I sound a bit spoiled or bitchy. But, this is real. It is odd, but real. Readjusting - I guess that is what it is. By the time I get used to it, it will go back to me being alone and I will be mad at myself for not enjoying this time as much as one should.

OK - back to smiling and nodding. Parade today, rides at the carnival this afternoon - is it wrong to start drinking right around noon? It is after all a Holiday!
