For the first time in 7 months I am absolutely, positively by myself!! The girls are in Nashville and Bryan has gone to Asia. So that leaves me home alone for 36 hours. I never realized how much I enjoyed the time I had to myself before. Now, I am married and have the kids on a full time basis (a novelty for a divorced woman)! It's not that I don't like my family - I love them. But I like me time too! So what did I do today and will I do tomorrow with all that time you may ask?
The sad reality is that I did exactly what I would do if they were here! I did laundry, straightened up the house, paid the bills, etc... The difference is that I also squeezed in the nap of the century, I finally got to see "Hairspray", I lingered in bed with coffee and my book, and I got to play as long as I wanted in my crop room! Life is good.
Although I must mention that when I dropped the girls off at the airport on Thursday, I cried! I haven't been without them in so long. And I never even got out of bed when Bryan left. Just a kiss and a nod back to sweet sleep!

You mean you didn't have to wake up to someone yelling, "MOM,MOM" over and over until you went upstairs to get them...at 6:30am, on a Sunday morning no less! We moved Elizabeth to her toddler bed over two weeks ago, and she still hasn't realized that she can get out of bed on her own!
Wow you have her trained well - I guess! Better that she yell for you then get up on her own and wander around the house for an hour (getting into who knows what kind of mischief) before anyone else wakes up!
Oh Steph, I think you are having memories of your own mischievous girls and confusing them with Elizabeth. That darling child doesn't seem like the type to think of anything "bad"---yet! I guess the jury is still out...
