Last Friday was the first day all the kids were in school at the same time.
And I loved it.
I couldn’t wait for today, Monday, when it would happen again.
And then when I was at Number 3’s baseball game this weekend, one of the moms there told me there was no school today.
Fuck.
I had no idea there was no school. My plans for a quiet Monday morning were shot to hell.
Until my friend offered to take all the kids at her house so I could have some time to myself.
And so that’s what happened today.
My friend took all the kids, and I had four hours to myself.
I kept waiting to get a text telling me the kids were out of control and that I needed to come get them.
But all I got was this picture,
along with the message, They are having so much fun!
It was, um, totally awesome. And I just wanted to share that.
Sometimes you don’t realize how great your friends are.
Then you go through a tough time, and you are reminded.
Today I got one of those reminders.
I’m not on Facebook anymore, but all the time I used to spend there left me in the habit of wanting to “Like” things. If your blog had a Like button, I’d totally push it for this post. So glad to hear you had some much deserved Mommy alone time and the pic of your little one is precious!
That is awesome. I know that you have needed the alone time more than ever lately. My awesome best friend helped me at one of my vintage shows this weekend. Let me tell you she is an amazing person because the amount of sweat that we produced probably could have filled my pool. It was nasty humid, and we got very dirty to the point where we had those black lines on the folds of our necks. But what felt so good is knowing I have a friend that will do that for me, and I would do the same for her. Keep enjoying your quiet mornings
I am a new blogger, myself, and this is my first time reading your blog. I really enjoyed it even though my kids are now grown. In fact, my life has done a complete 180 as I am now the caretaker of my own parents. Please check out my blog http://ellengreiss.wordpress.com. You never know where you’ll be in 20 years! At least we can all find some humor in our collective lives ?
