Home Alone

It's Sunday morning and I'm sitting in my house, completely alone, enjoying a cup of hot tea and checking email. I am LOVING the quiet.

Walter and the boys went to spend the night at his mom's house yesterday. This gives me 24 HOURS OF TIME AWAY FROM MY KIDS. I have not been child free for 24 hours in exactly 3.2 years (that would be since X was born). This was my first night ever being away from Wesley and only my 4th night ever being away from Xavier (and 2 of those nights were when I was in the hospital having Wes!)

Yesterday I watched a little TV, ran some errands, got myself a new pair of maternity jeans, went to church, and then went to celebrate a friend's birthday with a bowling night out. This morning I'm having breakfast out with another friend then I think I'll come back home for a nap! 

It's strange to be in the house alone, and really strange to wake up to an empty house. Thanks to X's lovely (read - RIDICULOUS) sleeping habits lately, my body is so wired to get up before 6  that I couldn't sleep in this morning. Oh well, even though I'm up early at least I don't have to make breakfast for anyone or change any diapers or watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

I thought I would miss Walter and the kids like crazy and feel guilty, but I'm actually really enjoying this! And don't worry, I plan to take the boys for a night at my parent's house soon so that Walter can have the same enjoyable kid free 24 hours at home.

Happy Sunday!!!
