Ahhh... I'm not ready for a quiet house!!


First time in 16 years, I get to experience for a few days the meaning of being home alone while my boys are on vacation with my sister.  My free time is always spent with my boys, and if one of them is away then I’m with the other one, so right now I don’t know what to do with both of them being gone. The house is so quiet with them away, —it’s kind of eerie. The sound of silence is making my skin crawl, so I turned up the volume on the TV just for ambience noise… lol
Is this how life will be when they’re off to college? If it is, I’m going to go crazy.  I can’t take the silence! You would think I’d be enjoying this leisure time, but not me —I’m pretty bored!!
The house is clean, and I have nothing else to do. I already wasted enough time on Facebook. I would play with my dogs but all they do is sleep, so they’re no fun. I guess I could use some ME time, but then what?  I would take a nap and catch up with my sleep, but I’m not tired.  I thought of going to the outlet mall, but then I’d end up buying stuff I don’t really need with money I don’t have, so that’s a bust. I thought of going to the pool, but it’s so freaking hot outside, I can feel my skin sizzling every time I step out in the direct heat of the sun, besides I don’t want to end up looking like Snooki. Then I figured this would be a great time to write, but that didn’t work either, since today I’m having writer’s block, so it’s useless trying to work on my novel. Therefore, I'm just spilling out my awkward feeling on this blog, rambling on like an idiot.  I hope that by tomorrow, I will know what to do with the two words I’m not familiar with, “Peace and Quiet.”
