And still the rain falls...

Tomorrow will begin a new work week. Pasting on the smile, being around people. Good for me, I suppose. Strange thing is, I complain about this feeling of being alone, but I prefer it to the outside world right now. I am by no means a recluse, nor am I on my way to being one. I like to get out and do things. I especially enjoy the movies. I like the big screen, dark theatre, sound surrounding me, immersed in fantasy for just a couple of hours. Away from home, no interruptions, phone calls, chores calling me, etc. Just me and my chair, my popcorn and my coke...
Now that I think about it, that still makes me "alone", huh? :)
Ok, I occasionally go out to eat or to a movie with friends. I take the kids to the park, when the weather permits a couple times a week. We have a membership to a facility where we can exercise or swim and during the week, they will even watch the kids while you work out. My schedule is pretty busy with work and the kids so, I do what I can and I honestly enjoy that time out. And I like to stay busy, makes the time go by faster.
CiCi is going to her first dance, speaking of time going by fast. I feel so old but at the same time the kids keep me young. If that makes any sense. It's not fancy, regular school dress code. She's excited. Her first year of jr high and she's loving it.
Well, when husband gets home, I will have him to talk to, go to the movies with, go to comedy clubs, just enjoy. Makes facing the outside world so much easier when my better half is home. I just don't feel complete without him. I just have to make it through this time he's away and hope the days in between are a bit sunnier.
My dog can't even go outside because this rain wont stop. I think I need it to go away and come again another day. I think some time outdoors would do us all some good.
