I already know my best things for today. I have been anxiously awaiting this day for the past few days, but first let me place a disclaimer on today so that I don't come across as a heartless wife; I really do love my hubby. After almost 16 years of marriage and 20 years together I know I made a good choice. He is kind and funny and we still really like each other. He is everything I am not; spontaneous, laid back and a really good sleeper. BUT, he is also loud(loud TV, loud music, loud voice), messy, he snores and he talks way too much! Last summer we bought a new house which shrunk his commute from 1 hour down to 15 minutes so now he is home much earlier. Home during the time that used to be my quiet hour, when I could cook and just wind down from my day. He is there now; talking, watching TV, invading my space, leaving his crap laying around.
#1 - Today he leaves for Vegas on his annual boy's trip for 5 days!!!! #2 - I do not have to cook for 5 days (I am perfectly happy with cheese and crackers for dinner but when he is home I feel like I should make a "meal"). #3 - The bed will be made every day (he is still sleeping in it when I leave for work), no dishes will be in the sink from late snacks, the TV will probably never get turned on and I will enjoy the solitude of my own clean home. I have a feeling one or more of these might show up again on my list over the next 5 days! Did I mention that he will be gone for 5 days?

Hehehe.... I remember this feeling so well when my husband went on his annual hunting and fishing trip with the guys in October. I shopped and went to lunch with the gals guilt free. Watched what I wanted to on TV, ate when and what I felt like. Then appreciated him that much more when he returned. Enjoy your quiet!

I live alone. I am too selfish of my time and space to live with others. I totally get this.

You sound like my husband and I. He leaves for a night every couple of weeks to visit his brother. It's heaven. And he loves me enough that he knows when it's time for me to have some alone time. He doesn't understand my need to be alone, but loves me enough to give it to me.
