Is it just me or does everyone feel like they just want to stay home and not talk to anyone….
The older I get the worse it seems to be getting. Once I get over the Christmas fun (and it is fun) I just want to hide and not see or talk to anyone. The thought of a party leaves me feeling slightly panicked and claustrophobic.
I want to bunker down, stay quiet, read books and eat chocolate with my kids.
I need containment. Rest. Privacy. Boredom.
How I crave boredom. And there isn’t any.
Soon we will escape to the seaside, try to become bored and regenerate a little before the school year swings full again and social interaction resumes, but for now the lights are off. Isn’t that delicious.
I wish you a wonderful new year full of promise and abundance. We’ll be watching the sun go down somewhere quiet and waiting for the new year to arrive. I have a feeling it will be a marvellous new beginning and an extraordinary adventure.
Happy New Year from us to you. 
I’m like that all the time
Happy New Year, I hope 2009 is wonderful!
I’ve often been tempted to tell people we’re going away – and then hide out at home
The only thing stopping is inventing what a fun time we had “away” the next time I see the same people…
Michelle, I hope you are doing exactly what you feel you need to do.
I also feel like you…I am ‘peopled out’! I need peace, space , time to recoup my energy and sort out my priorities.
I wish you health , happiness and peace of mind for 2009
