Guilty Pleasure

I'm enjoying a few days on my own for the first time in 17 years! My family have gone on holiday without me. Actually, I'm joining them tomorrow, so I haven't totally abandoned them. I had a selection of work to prepare for a gallery for the beginning of September and with four children and the school holidays, there was little chance of getting much work done. My (thoughtful) husband suggested that I stay behind for a few days. I have loved having the house to myself. I can work, eat and sleep exactly when I like. My fingers hurt, I've been working so much. It feels great! I can't wait to join everyone tomorrow and of course the tent is already set up, so I've missed the hard part too. I wonder if I can make this an annual event... perhaps that would be pushing my luck!
