Home Alone

Robin took the kids to the cabin this weekend. When he told me he was taking them the whole weekend my first thought was -- I am not going to get to spend any time with Sam this week. I was going to miss them both so much. Then I realized that I had planned on going out with the girls on Sat. anyway and I had to work the whole weekend, which is the why Robin was taking the kids with him.

So I took advantage on Friday night and turned the radio up loud, scrapbooked, ate when I felt like it and loved every minute of it. And I realized how much I missed having alone time. How many of you moms can remember the last time you had a whole night in the house all by yourself! I really enjoyed living alone before I met Robin and for awhile it was just like the old days. Sat morning I didn't have to close the door when I took a shower or tiptoe up the steps so I didn't wake anyone up. I cranked the ipod and danced to a few of my favorite songs where no one could see me. Except possibly anyone driving by who happened to look into the picture window. . . I won't think about it.

Needless to say, when it turned out we were not going to be able to go out on Sat night -- I did not protest too much. I completely enjoyed a whole second night of freedom, within my own house. Although I really do need a girls night out too. But that's a whole new topic!
