What a week, On Sunday night Chris kicked out our housemate and his girlfriend + kids. They have not been back since. I know I wrote in a post not so long ago that I had actually dreamed out this day but now that its here... well... I had a freak out. I love Chris but at the same time I try very hard to ignore how serious we have gotten. Its not a reflection on 'us', more on my history. In the past I thought I was serious and committed to someone and visa versa, when it was clear to the world I was deluding myself. This time I decided not to put myself through that again. So when it suddenly dawned on me, this is it, it's just Chris and I from here on out a freak out followed. If that was not bad enough I was stupid enough to admit it to Chris. Needless to say he didn't take it well. Having now got over my trepidation I would like to share with you the up sides of just 'us':
- Go to the bathroom without getting fully dressed.
- Get to sleep longer in the mornings.
- Less dishes.
- Prospects of play outside the bedroom.
- Better Meals.
- No fighting for TV or Computer.
- Cleaner house.
- Quieter house in which to study.
- No Screaming children or Manipulative Girlfriends (Unless Chris has a few on the side I don't know about).
Just a note on the better meals one. Since our housemate left I have really made an effort to cook meals more tailored to Chris and I. Our housemate was a picky eater and the boys didn't really like veggies but Chris is nice enough to eat what I put in front of him. Tonight we had Steamed beans, roast potatoes and home made chicken nuggets. It was more effort than I used to make but I really enjoyed it. I think Chris did too.
Oh I cleaned the house as well. Our room, the lounge, the kitchen and the spare room are all clean. Believe me that is phenomena in its self. If that wasn't strange enough I installed a shower head all by myself. I went to the hardware store, picked out the head, removed and replaced it. Cool eh? Yeah thats girl power for you!
