I'm afraid that some times
you'll play lonely games too.
Games you can't win
'cause you'll play against you.
All Alone!
Whether you like it or not,
Alone will be something
you'll be quite a lot.
Oh, The Places You'll Go - Dr Seuss
For the first time in I can't remember, I have spent the day entirely ALONE! The first few hours were NICE! I worked on getting caught up with organizing/uploading/ordering a year's worth of pictures so I can hopefully get caught up scrapbooking all those pictures before Chicken Nugget comes. The the second two hours started to get a little lonely, I took a shower and tried to call Chris. He took Abby this morning to hike on the Pine Mtn Trail with my mom and dad. I did end up talking to them at about 1pm. Abby had a great time and loved that her Gammy was there. It's hard to be loved so much by one little person, and I am glad that my mom was getting the brunt of it today. Abby would only let my mom carry her - and she wanted to be carried for the entire return trip! Chris left for work from my M&D, and M&D took abby to LaGrange for some mischievous adventures...I think mainly to look at mules and for my dad to convince my mom that "abby needs one". Chris won't be off work till midnight, and I don't really know where abby or my parents are. I took a nap this afternoon, and now it's starting to get lonely:-(
My friend Christy who is also an only child confirms my belief that sometimes we only children just need to be alone sometimes. I think this is giving me my alone fill for a while. I am sure as soon as abby walks in the door I'll want some alone time again:-) After the day we had yesterday (I cleaned up abby's poop and pee off the floor at least 5 times. I threatened to send her to daycare, etc), I think my family knew that I needed a break. That's why Chris Ricker is the best husband ever. He always knows what I need and tries to get it for me - EXCEPT - he won't let me do the 16 wk ultrasound!! I can't believe he doesn't want to know 4 weeks sooner....we need TIME TO PLAN!! I've got 2 weeks to work my magic - wish me luck!

Your day off sounds fun and productive ... I don't think it is just only children that like time by themselves. I am also like you in that I want to be left alone ... but not too long ...

Hey, I didn't know that you had a blog....cool!!
Man, I need some alone time but at the same time I probably wouldn't know what to do with myself.
To answer your question Thirteenth Tale is a good book, kinda weird but it is good. Starts off kinda slow though but then gets good.
I had to give up on my book club I just wasn't digging what they kept reading so I just read by myself now.
That why I have Angie, her and I pretty much like the same books then I still have someone to discuss the book with.
Sorry, this is like the longest comment ever but just wanted to ask how you are feeling with pregnancy and all?
Tell Chris that I say to do the 16 week ultrasound a woman has just got to know!!
i am your husbands cousin and i got this link from your sister in law sarah. it was fun to read about you and your family.
