Tonight I met a friend for coffee after dinner and then went to the grocery. When I got home, around 10:20, the house was silent. Everyone was in bed – husband and kiddos, and guess what I did? Nothing! (Well, I put the groceries away. And of course I took a picture of them first so I can show off my couponing skills in my Super Savings Saturday post!) Then I popped open a Coke and got my laptop and sat on the couch and actually watched some non-PBS Kids TV! I didn’t go upstairs and check on anybody. And I don’t think I will, not until I’m too tired to stay up and be by myself anymore. As long as I feel appropriately guilty about it, and I do, I think it’s acceptable behavior. 🙂 I get so little time to be by myself, just me, I’ve got to take it when I can. I love being with my family but it’s great to just be alone for a few minutes, with no one needing or expecting anything from me.
Of course my family is never far from my mind even when I’m along, so since I have a few minutes on my hands here, I want to share this photo of Sophie with you that I took this afternoon. THIS is what her hair looked like when she woke up from her nap today:
You can also see in that devilish grin that she now has two teeth on top (one on the bottom too – and MAN is it sharp! Ohh I REALLY gotta wean her now!) What am I gonna do with this girl?
And here’s my super-cute 4-year-old boy having fun at our local children’s museum yesterday on his birthday!
Well, I’m finally tired of myself…so, good night friends! I hope you caught a few minutes with yourself today too.
