Alone time - Like manna from heaven

My dad retired about two years ago, after his heart attack and stroke.  I guess he finally realized that there is more to life than working your arse off.  Instead he now spends (a lot) of quality time at home with my mom. 

Although it is every wife's dream to spend lots of quality time alone with your husband (!!!! noooooo!), a little alone time every now and then is quite pleasant.

My father is away at the moment, visiting my brother overseas.  My poor mom, she seems to be holding up quite well.  Must be so tough.  She sent me this text message last night:

Mother:  "In bed with glass of wine, good book and hot water bottle. No noise - no radio, no TV...just silence. Ahhhhh. xx"

Me:  "Am insanely jealous. Am sitting in chair with sick baby on lap, sour puke smell wafting. Sounds of twins and TV blaring in backgrond. Wanna swap?"

Mother:  "Nope x"

Me: "Enjoy"

Alone time.  Like manna from heaven.
