I'll start by saying that nothing in this post is going to come as a surprise to anyone with small children or a full-time job, or both (and those are the true crazies). But OMG, free time is nothing short of amazing! I've had all week off from work to wait for this baby to arrive and the kids have been in school and the worker bee has been at work so I've been all. by.myself.for. a. week. Awesome! Now, I'd probably get bored on week #2 of this but week #1 has been pretty refreshing. Like right now, I'm raiding the kids Halloween candy and they don't even know it! And next, I'm going to lay on the couch and watch TV. And I won't even have to get up every 3 minutes to get someone a sippy cup of chocolate milk or wipe up some bodily fluid or save the cat. Speaking of...this seems relevant:
I think you all have some sort of weird 6th sense that tells you to call me at the exact moment when the kids flake out and it appears as though I'm a very bad parent :-)
I'll end this post by thanking baby #3, still referred to as "it," for hanging in there and giving me this week of free time - lord knows it may never ever happen again. At least until my next child free vacation.
