Yeah I did that.....

So this is what I did with my first day alone.
You better believe that I enjoyed all of those Truffles. I did not have to share, they were for me and me alone and I savored each and every one.
Then I read the paper, cover to cover. I even read the classifieds - WHY -because I could.
Then I went and smelled my roses. I have not done that all year and they are all in bloom and look wonderful and smell so good. It is the little things today.....
Then I checked on the pool.
It needs some attention and to be vaccumed, but not today......add it to the list.

I passed by this room often, it has laundry waiting, it still has laundry waiting, and now the door is closed. Go away you foul-good-mood-killer.
I even got to drink this all by myself! Again no sharing, no having to go looking for my drink, there it was beside me all the time waiting to refresh just me, ahhh!
With all this peace and tranquility you better believe that I took some much needed time to examine the inside of my eyelids.
And that is what I did with my first day of school.

No guilt, no pressure, not having to listen for a yell or something crashing down.

Ah, I could get used to this...........

Good for you! I spent yesterday doing umpteen loads of laundry so today I could play. As soon as Gabe naps, I am going straight down to my scrap room to have me some fun!

Thanks for the sweet comment today.

That looks like an awesome day. I am so glad that you got some well yearned mommy time.

I. am. so. so. so. jealous! Babies and 3-year-olds are fun and all, but I'd like a little sanity ONCE in a while.

Plus, I think Hy really badly wants to go to school and I foresee many fights in the near future convincing him he can't go yet.

This morning he woke me up wearing little S' old blue windbreaker (hood on) and his toy backpack. He was ready to go--soggy diaper and all!

Oh--and the Lindt truffles? The last set I bought were found and consumed by my children. I DID have a good hiding spot.
