Wednesdays

I love Wednesdays. I start work at 6 am and have the lab to myself for around 1 hour and I absolutely love the peace and quiet. No running around trying to get the girls ready for school, no getting loads of washing in the machine and then hanging it out, no unpacking the dishwasher and packing it again with the breaky dishes, no nagging, I just get up and go to work. The rush then happens after I pick up the girls for school when its off to ballet and I go to the gym (plus all the usual evening activites of homework, dinner etc) but at least I have had that hour at work where I have had some peace. I'm usually busy - I have samples running now - but I can potter around and not feel like I have someone looking over my shoulder.
I'm a person who needs time by myself. I find it challenging having children as I can't even go to the toilet without someone walking in on me. This is why I love to get up early every morning to have some me time whether its working out, playing on the computer, reading the paper or just to sit on our front veranda with a cuppa and watch the world go by.

I also love my own space and time alone. Sitting on the veranda with a cuppa sounds lovely. I love it in summer when it's hot and the storms roll in. Watching the storm and the big fat drops of rain. I could sit for hours just staring. It is so relaxing

I have my own time after the girls have gone to bed. I often look at the clock and it's 1am, and I have just dreamed away 3-4 hours of coffees and peace and quiet. How wonderful for you to enjoy a day when you can be by yourself.

I'm with you. I always try and get up at leat 30 mins before everyone else. I need that time to myself to read the news, blogs, plan my day etc.
