You read that title right. Here I am on a rainy Sunday afternoon and I am almost completely alone. I just spent the last 10 minutes snuggling and rocking Ben to sleep and now… there is nothing but silence. Seriously, all I hear is the hum of the fridge behind me. Even after the kids are asleep at night, I hear more than this.
And even though I have loads of laundry waiting on me, bathrooms to be cleaned and plenty of furniture to dust, I am about to do absolutely nothing. I am about to wrap myself in a blanket, sit in Bubba’s chair and watch a pointless TV show.
I love being a mom with every ounce of my being but sometimes I forget what is is like to just be alone. I feel extremely guilty finding even a small dose of pleasure in the fact that everyone except a sleeping baby is gone for just a quick few hours. I don’t feel like it is fair for me to just sit and do nothing when there is so much to be done or that I am using my time the best way I should. So this is my self saying that surely out there on this rainy Sunday afternoon there are other mothers doing exactly what I am about to do- just be and do nothing!
I am sure once I am sucked into BRAVO or E I will somehow manage!
