Freedom 04.03.07

I have had a lovely Saturday enjoying my prize - 24hrs without Robbie! In fact it is almost 24hrs to myself, Emily is here tonight, but she has been at work all day and will be out again tomorrow. Robbie, Laura and Sam have been banished to the North.

I am enjoying watching what I want on TV, holding the remote control is a rare treat. I really don't understand this man thing about having to hold their equipment all the time. I have also been able to eat what I like instead of what other people want - I am the only one in the house who likes tomatoes so i have had lots of tomatoes. I have got lots more jobs done without Robbie around to distract me.

Emily and I were discussing Robbie's most irritating traits today, it was quite a wide ranging discussion, but we both agreed that his knack of not being ready until the last possible moment was the most stressful to deal with. Emily told me that on Wednesday when everyone else was ready and waiting outside, Robbie was still in the kitchen, minus his shirt, shining his shoes. Clean shoes speak volumes, but surely the shirt was the priority at that point. He seems to get a thrill from pushing deadlines and he frequently tells me that he gets his train with only seconds to spare. It drives me mad and it causes unnecessary stress.
