We all have a daily routine whether we actually acknowledge it or not. We all think we are spontaneous in our behavior, but in reality, we're pretty predictable. When you share a home with others, one develops a routine of sorts dividing the daily chores between the two of you.
Anytime there is a disruption in that routine, it affects the natural flow of the household no matter how minor. Just imagine a couple of months of disruption and you can be sure tempers will flare. I feel that Emily and I are at that point now. We just have been together too much and need a break from one another.
Easier said than done! How does one try to fit into another routine after such a long established one?
The month of May was spent in togetherness. I mean, it was only on the weekends that we shared supper together. Suddenly, we were able to enjoy a meal and evening time . . . . every single day.
The month of June was spent in arguing with one another. Always underfoot at every corner. In a small space, it seemed like we were together everywhere. That same activity that brought us closer, begun to get thin. I mean, we had supper and evening time. . . . every single day.
The month of July, so far, has been spent in a happy medium with days spent apart and some together. There were times we barricaded ourselves in our rooms and others where we pushed one of us out the door. Right now, I think we're both secretly dreaming of some weekend alone time. I have heard Emily murmuring under her breath about my returning back to work. When she mentioned a possible sleepover at her friends, I literally jumped for joy.
So when is that sleepover happening?
Have a blessed day everyone.
