Sitting in the Dark

I just recently made our move from Spokane to Phoenix. It was a whirlwind the past 3 weeks! Just a couple of days after we moved in, I had had my limit of "where is the..." or "do we have any ..." or "I can't find..."! My head was about to pop off and I just wanted to be left alone and have some quiet time. As it was time for my husband to put my son to bed, I noticed they were glued to the TV and no one was moving towards the bedroom. I decided I was not going to just leave them be and go take a bath. As I started to run the water, I decided I was going to try to be invisible. I was very quiet, shut my door, turned off all the lights in my room and bathroom and climbed into the tub. There I sat, in the dark, in a nice hot bathtub! The light from the stars and the moon gave me just a glimmer of light. It was quiet! I just sat there, not moving and taking deep, relaxing breaths. I don't think I have ever taken a bath in the dark but for some reason it was exactly what I needed to shut everything out and just be. It took my husband and son about 20 minutes to realize I was gone and then I could hear them looking for me. It was actually quite funny because they didn't come into my room as it was dark and I wasn't making a sound. Finally, I decided it was time to get out as I think they were starting to worry that I had wondered off somewhere. It was the most relaxing 20 minutes I have had in a long time.
