It's not unusual for me to come home from work and be on my own. (My daughter lives in her bedroom...well she's 13, what do I expect?)I don't complain, in fact it's nice to not have to watch Sky Sports news all of the time. Sometimes though, you just wish that you had some company.
I was so pleased today when I found out my husband was taking a half shift. More good news was that my son and his girlfriend were having a night in our house for a chage. With the possibility of my daughter leaving the darkest depths of her bedroom for a short while I was quite beside myself with the thought of having loads of company.
The reality?
My daughter is in her bedroom.
My husband is in the conservatory reading one of those books that you can't put down.
My son and his girlfriend are snuggling on the sofa in the living room watching a dvd.
Me?
I'm in the back room on my own....
It's great having company! *rolls eyes*

Aha.. they bring such joy. My boy is nearly 18. (Not as close to it as he keeps telling me though) and as I've mentioned, my daughter is 13. She wanders around with earphones in too. My aunt thought she had a hearing problem... I said yhat she does. She has a problem with having to listen to us!

I eargerly look forward to my son arriving with my grandaughter aged 3, as though I was a puppy waiting to be taken 'walkies' (as though I'm going to be having all the fun ) .
But they always arrive thirsty and hungry and in need of my undivided attention, so I'm 'feeding and watering' and listeneing to tales of woe and playing 'snap' and dancing and singing to Boney M 'Daddy Cool' is her favourite, over and over again...............
All of the above, all at the same time, it's like spinning plates on poles.
I collapse into the blissful silence of being alone once they've left.................. -

haha, I loved your comment. It evoked some very vivid imagery for me!
Daddy Cool! My mum and I used to make dance steps up to that!

I know how you feel. My son visits me once or twice a week and I get all excited looking forward to chatting. What does he do, he sits on the computer with his head phones in sigh.........
He's 21 by the way. Kids eh?
