I am, without a doubt, a homebody. I LOVE being at home. I love the quiet and solitude, and how peaceful life feels here. I am truly an introvert at heart, although many who don't know me well find that very difficult to believe. It is completely and totally true however. I also think it's gotten worse as I've gotten older, and that is probably due in some part to my increased level of anxiety. Regardless, home is where I prefer to be.
At the same time, I also get to a point where I actually get excited and look forward to being out and about. This is especially true this time of year when the weather tends to be either cold or rainy (or both) and it's not easy being out even if you want to. I had kind of reached that point, especially after spending a fabulous weekend pretty much doing nothing but watching basketball. I had kind of mentally prepared to spend the day running a few easy errands, and kind of stock up on some craft supplies for some projects I had in the back of my mind...and here is where it gets ironic. Catherine is home sick today. It's nothing serious. She just has a really bad cold, and I think a day at home will serve her well. I never mind being at home to take care of my kids, and honestly I see it as a gift that I don't have to worry about missing work or anything. There is always tomorrow or the next day to run errands...today we just hang out!
