Time Alone

I was able to have some alone time this past weekend while Rob and Sarah were in out of town. This was the first time I had extended time away from Sarah in my own home! I couldn't have been more thrilled to have approximately 27 hrs to myself. What shall I do with all the that time? Shop till I drop, eat like a pig (without having to share or fix another meal), stay up until 3am watching all my favorite movies, sleep in until noon, take a 45 minute shower, bake some elaborate dinner for one..well, you get the point.

Saturday was a good day. I was able to hang out at home for awhile and get a shopping game plan then face the crowds. It was a nice getaway, even fighting the crowds, as I didn't have a schedule, no appointments, no time to get home, no child needing food or a nap, etc. So even though it was nuts out there, I had a relaxing time. I came home and had a little bit to eat, watched some uninterrupted TV and wrapped some gifts.

Unfortunately, my Sunday was not as enjoyable. I woke up sick early in the morning and spend most of the morning in bed or the bathroom. So by the time Rob and Sarah got home Sunday afternoon, I had done nothing but sleep, lay around, drink tea and watch alittle TV. I was bummed that I couldn't do all I wanted to, but thankful that I had a little break from being Mama. It makes all the difference. Thanks, Rob!
