A Day Off

I REALLY needed a day off.  Just a day to myself. I have wanted this for a while, but recently needed it. I mean, I LOVE my kids, I LOVE my little family.  I LOVE being with them but I NEEDED a day where no one wanted or needed me to do anything.  A day where no one climbed, jumped, or touched me.  A true day to myself.  I got a little surprise Saturday night by going out for apps, and a movie with my husband and another couple. It was nice but it just wasn't enough.  I wanted more. More time for me..even without my husband and without other people. I didn't want to leave my house to go out.  I just straight up no if, ands, or buts wanted a day off. 

Guess what? I GOT IT!  Yup, sure did! Sunday morning (after Jay got home from fishing (for the second time) this weekend) he said "I have to run out and do a few things I am going to take the kids and get munchkins for them". I was like.."what, what? well, if you want to, bring them to the park". Yeah like he was going to do that??? 

To make a long story short, he came back from getting munchkins and spent the day across the street with our neighbors. Me?  I stayed home.  By myself. I did NOTHING!  Yup, NOTHING. My house has been totally spring cleaned and organized.  Friday ALL the floors were washed and sheets cleaned.  All the laundry was done, the dishes were done, the house was picked up.  I literally had a day of nothingness.

Though I did think of them from time to time I (for the first time) didn't feel guilty about not being with them.  I just laid in my clean comfortable bed, watched TV and relaxed my day away.  It was AMAZING!  I was home alone and LOVING it.

When I finally decided to join my family it was nice conversation with my neighbor while the daddies played with the kids, and then it was time to come home. I threw them in the tub and made some pancakes. Everything needed to be quick because they were so tired.  Kyle was in his own bed and asleep by 5:15.  Miss. Hailey 6:15. My husband went out with a friend so there I was again.  ALONE. and I LOVED it.  It was a MUCH needed and unexpected day off.  I have to say THANK YOU to my neighbors for taking in my husband and children for the day; and of course thank you to my husband for taking the kids all day.  Now, how do I finagle something like this to happen again?
