July 12th

This weekend has been CRAZY!  Cram packed full of activities, responsibilities, and even an injury.  Usually I wake up and grab my computer to see what the challenge for the day is.  Today I just wanted to sleep and not be disturbed.  But I’m a stay at home mom with two young boys.  There is no such thing as not being disturbed.  I awoke to calls of “Can you get my mini-wheats?!?!” and bodies burrowing into my perfectly warmed and wrapped blankets.  By the time I finally got my email opened up I found today’s prompt…

“Can you take a little time today to find solitude, even in the midst of togetherness?”

Yeah right!  After several late nights my boys are at their prime.  Full whines and arguing abounds in this house today.  Where would I possibly find solitude?

iSolitude – The only way to do it is to block it all out!  :)  Turn on my favorite podcast (Paperclipping Roundtable) and get lost for a few minutes.  Solitude…otherwise known as “I Can’t Hear You…”

Similar photo just different effect.  A much warmer tone.

I like how this one focuses on the headphones, but you can still see my iPod in the background.

Thanks Roundtable!  You gave me not only my inspiration for Picture Summer today, but some much needed alone time…even if it was in the midst of chaos!  :)

    I like the third photo of these, best! I agree – hectic days lead to little time for solitude! I dropped my son off to work at a summer camp on Saturday (he's gone for three weeks), and it was SO NICE to not hear someone pounding their feet across the floor when I came back home! LOL!
