Christmas eve: alone in the house, christmas music playing, christmas tree glittering on the presents underneath, crab and scallops for dinner, and now curled up on the couch with a dog and two cats, bite-sized cream puffs, a bottle of bailey's, and a great book... life doesn't get any better than this.
Tomorrow kids will be back from Ex's house, and we'll do presents and huge dinner, afterwards they will play video games and do noisy kid-stuff, and that will be nice too, in a different way.
But tonight, I'm so alone-time-deprived that this really hits the spot.
