it's great to be loved

I often wonder when the day will come when I will have some personal space. I enjoy the moments like the picture, it's the times when I can't go to the washroom alone or leave a room without being followed that makes me crave some time alone, oh and I don't dare take a bath unless I want some company (and not from Chris, although I'm sure he wouldn't complain if he was invited!). A few weeks ago, Chris took both the girls somewhere and it was the weirdest feeling being ALONE in the house. I think that since Hallie was born I could count on one hand how many times I've been alone in my house. Sure, there are times when they are sleeping and I am left alone and have some quiet time but I had forgotten what it felt like to actually be ALONE. There is actually a feeling that comes with being alone. As I write this I am glad that I am seldom alone and fearfully dread the day when I am alone more permanently. As much as I long for space sometimes, I am really grateful to be so wanted and loved by my family.
