Alone

[franceslievens]

P. has left for Oxford again and for the first time this coming year it's just me and Li'l Bit at home for the next three weeks. Everyone keeps telling me to call or ask for help if I need it, and the more they urge me on, the more I want them all to piss off and just do everything myself. I'm scared shitless though. It's a big house to keep clean, I've got a lot of school work, and LB always needs your full attention when she's up and crawling around. (Yes, she crawls where-ever she sees something of interest, preferable anything that's not a toy. Just the other day she almost pulled a plant to the ground.) There won't be much time to just hang, drink coffee and read the paper. If I don't get my butt in gear, I will let things slide and P. will find one messy house when he returns. So here I go: everything I do must be done in half the amount of time from now on.

You'll be alright, I'm sure.

Screw the attempt at perfection though - a little mess doesn't harm anyone. It's much more important that you (and LB) get some relaxation in as well.

I'm very glad LB likes the daycare. She doesn't mind spending some more time there, so I can get some extra work done on my days off.

I'm quite used to a little mess. But I also know how messy things can get...
