Only drum solos!
From the peace of a steady beat combined with the trickling of water, to an erratic drum beat coming from the hands of little ones.
It almost feels like whiplash, but it is true to my mothering experience.
Solo time is not something that I experience often. I am constantly doing my parenting duties or building and developing relationships. There is always somebody, most times, everyday. Yet today I was restful as I received a massage and I sat at a table in a restaurant and ate alone staying a little longer than I would have normally after finishing a meal. It was so pleasant.
Then I was greeting with drum solos and a loaded lap when I came home, mentally planning a time when I can do it again.
