Silence is Golden.

I am sitting awake at 5am. I could be sleeping. I don’t want to.

I think I have now caught up on all my sleep. Lacey is pretty good now. She stirs throughout the night, but doesn’t need resettling. (We – well I – ended up giving in and letting her sleep with us – that’s another post, another day).

Before Baby (a time also known as B.B.) I would get up early in the morning, alone. Hubby would still be sleeping, and that was my me time.

I do need to recharge. At work there is never silence. There are 4 little voices chattering away constantly. I love it. That’s a good part of why I love my job. That constant energy and conversation.

Sydney is such a crazy, fast-paced place to live.

So when I could grab those moments of solitude before the rest of the world had really woken up, I grabbed them, and I loved them. Most mornings I’d go for a walk down on the beach before the sun had risen.

On the weekends though, I’d be indulgent. Camp out in front of the TV. Laptop in lap. Pyjamas still on. Crazy bed hair happening. Me time.

Do you know how rare it is to have the remote in this house? Control of the TV? Rare. Almost extinct. I freaking need a degree for our remote anyhow. It’s complicated.

Do you know how good the TV is at 5am in the morning? There are reruns on Foxtel. Rage on ABC. I love it.

Hubby is away all week competing in Perth with the Surf Club. (They’re doing really well. Today is a tough day, but I hope, hope, hope they get through).

Lil Sis came and stayed last night. I said she was welcome to sleep in bed with Lacey if she liked. She was soooo excited and jumped at the chance. I slept for the first time ever on the couch. I give it the thumbs up. Comfy.

So here I am. In the dark. Grabbing this rare moment of solitude. Recharging my me battery. I feel so peaceful. So content.

Small things amuse small minds. I tells ya. Small things. xx

  1. I love my me time too. Fortunately I am single and I am loving doing whatever I want, whenever I want, however I want. I realize that this time will end some time in the future but when I hear of other people wishing how they had more me time I am so glad that all of my time is me time. I have also gone to the beach before sunrise and it is the most amazing experience! So peaceful and serene.
