Maybe I’ll get a much needed manicure since my nails could certainly use some attention. Maybe I’ll browse Barnes and Noble for a new good read. Maybe I’ll buy a cup of coffee and read a magazine. Maybe I’ll just sit in silence with my feet up.
Because I can.
Maybe I’ll catch up on emails and get a jump start on some work. Maybe I’ll shop for a cute new pair of shoes. Maybe I’ll catch up with a friend for breakfast or go for a long walk outside.
Because I can.
You see, tomorrow is the first official day “back-to-school” but this year is different for me. My son will be returning to pre-school but in addition to that, my daughter will be beginning a morning program so for two mornings per week I will be completely child free.
Yes, for the first time in five years, I will have six hours per week that will be mine.
All mine.
Whether I clean my house, carve out some quality work related time or simply take some time just for me – it will be my decision to make and I will be able to do whatever I want. And after five years, this time is certainly well deserved.
So will I miss these faces?
Well, just thinking about the sheer bliss of six hours weekly of uninterrupted quality “me” time…
I think I’ll be just fine.
Enjoy! I enjoyed preschool and Kindergarten when we only had one child. I’m looking forward to next fall when our 2nd one should be starting preschool, and our older one will be in school all day.
I hope you had a very relaxing day, doing whatever you wanted to do! I’m sure you missed them just a little bit, though, right? 😉
Enjoy your new “me” time!
Oooohhh I’m soooo jealous but hopefully at the same time cause I know my day will come too. I CAN’T WAIT!
I meant hopeful at the same time, see what happens with kids, I cant even spell right anymore LOL
Oh if I could get 2hrs alone! I’ve been yearning for such a thing forever but it never comes and I can’t really do anything when they sleep.
Enjoy it to the last tick of the tock!
Awwww! Such sweet faces! But YES, you’ll be fine! those 3 hours go by sooooo flippin fast! lol I have 5 mornings this year 9-12:30 and OMG, I’m giddy! Enjoy ur alone time superchick! You deserve it! =)
