I want to be alone

They think its them who want to get away from us. Kids that is. Actually, it's the other way around.

I long for peace, that light airy feel of NOBODY AT ALL being in the house with me. Instead, I got both sons. Son 1 on study leave; son 2 ill. That's ill as in the strange mysterious illnesses that overwhelm at 8.00am and magically clear up by 10.00am ready for a long hard day on the Playstation.

They aren't making any noise but somehow their presence bears down on me.

Just being selfish I suppose.

But maybe (little interesting appercu coming now) it's natures way of preparing for the separations ahead.
