This is wierd...
I just got home from my part time job, also known as my "fun job". I work in the box office for the Oakland A's, which means I sell a few tickets, then get to go into the game and watch for free. Yes, they beat the Red Sox 3-0. That's two in a row. Go A's. Anyhoo, I came home tonight expecting to see my husband and two kids and wonderous dog, Buddy, waiting for me so we can have movie night. The cars are in the driveway, but nobody's home, not even wonderous Buddy. There's no note, but I can figure out that they have taken Buddy out on a walk, but it's almost 9:00 at night, and the sun has set. The movies for movie night are here, but no family. Now for the wierdness. It's totally quiet. No tv's are on, no radio's are playing, all the rooms are dark. Buddy isn't at my feet wherever I go. I'm not making anyone dessert, or making suggestions that it's almost shower time. I've been home like this now for about 15 minutes, and it feels so wierd! I know I should be savoring this solitude. I am the type of person who really enjoys my "me time". But I usually plan ahead for "me time". This is unexpected, unscheduled me time. SO WIERD! So, I guess I'll go sit in my reading chair and read my Oprah magazine until they get home. Maybe I'll pour a glass of wine and listen to the jazz station, too. Uh oh. I just heard the front door. Here comes Buddy. I guess the "me time" will have to wait until another time. 1 comments from 1 users

I know what you mean. I've had that happen and actually don't like it. I love "me" time as much as any busy mom, but situations like that just make me feel alone, not relaxed. It's that "TOO QUIET" sensation that creeps you out. When my family comes back after that kind of deal, it's like someone turned the lights back on in our house.
I'm glad your family came back fast and I hope you had a good movie night.
