Home alone

Ah!! Our patient census was low tonight so I only worked for 4 hours and then came home. Nico's at his dad's, J.D.'s with his girlfriend and Mike is working out of town tonight so I have the place to myself. I don't know why I feel such pleasure in being home alone, but after growing up in the Lauritzen zoo and having 4 children and a spouse in my adult home and now having a significant other and two of my children with me most of the time I take great pleasure in having a few hours to myself. Of course I'll probably clean or something boring like that, but it's still nice once in a while. There's not alot going on in San Angelo right now, but we're looking forward to the end of May when my eldest daughter and her family come down to see us for J.D.'s graduation. Their dad will be in Iraq at the time so we can have a peaceful, stress-free time together. Can't wait!
