OMG.

I was alone… in my own house… alllllll weekend. Well, except for Mike. He was there too…

Is it hot in here? It feels a little warm to me… hmmmm

Annyyyyway, I spent the weekend remembering what it was like to…

nevermind.

I have to admit, kids came tumbling into the house yesterday afternoon and I was almost glad to see them. Almost. It occurred to me today that I have officially been a mother longer than I uh, wasn’t a mother. Strange. That just feels strange.

Change subject… anyway, the point is that I shut down the computer, stayed away from the telephone (sort of, but let’s not count drunk dialing, shall we?) and actually just hung out with my husband like a normal human being. As opposed to the parental/maternal/wife/business partner/hybrid thing that I usually am. Know what I mean?

If only you could actually feel the tension in my shoulders pre-weekend and post-weekend only then could you begin to understand how much I needed this weekend. This was our first weekend alone in two years.

TWO YEARS.

As I’m writing this it looks as if I’ve got about 3 hours of weekend left. I think I’ll just enjoy it.

BTW… the Hornitos tequila? Quite good.

Beer from El Salvador? Also quite good.

See ya tomorrow!

First weekend alone in 2 years? How in the hell did you keep from maiming or hiding a body in the closet during that time?

Glad that you made good use of your weekend!

Go ahead, I can take it.
