Me Week

This kids are going to see Ingrid tomorrow for spring break and I am kid-free for the next eight days.

EIGHT DAYS!!!

Pre-divorce I didn’t think I could handle being away from the kids for this long.

I was wrong.

I can handle it.

In fact, I look forward to it.

For the next eight days the only person I have to cook for or drive anywhere or do laundry for or focus on is me.

I’m treating the next week like I’m going to a spa or a wellness retreat.

I’m taking care of my insides and outsides.

I don’t have the funds to go to a retreat for a week, but I can make a staycation retreat.

So I started with food.

I went grocery shopping tonight and bought the things I’d want to eat if I was spending a few days away at a fancy spa.

I usually only drink seltzer or water, so I splurged and bought some special drinks to make myself some mocktails.

I got the good ice cream. And nobody else will eat it. IT’S ALL MINE.

Here’s tonight’s mocktail (it was delicious):

BRING ON ME WEEK!!!
