My brother, his wife, and a bunch of their friends are taking my son to the Dells. He will spend Tuesday night at their place, leave early Wednesday, spend the night at my parents house, then bring him home Thursday.
Woohoo! Time for myself! I don’t know if I want to go out or stay home and enjoy the peace and quiet! I’m thinking I want to stay home and enjoy the time for me. I’m done with going to bars (that’s the only thing to do in this town and I don’t want to see a movie). It will be bliss.
When do you want me to come over, and what do you want me to bring? Whipped cream and chocolate sauce, handcuffs and leather, or just a big box of condoms and a smile?
No you aren’t a horrible mother for wanting some alone time. Do whatever it is that you’ve been missing out on doing because you’re too busy/tired/distracted/can’t with the young-un around, but you’ve been wanting to do. If that means sitting naked on the couch listening to Yanni, eating a bucket of ice-cream, and letting the dishes pile up, go for it. Or bring your neighbors over for that wild orgy. Or clean the apartment because you can never get it done with him around. Whatever. As long as it makes you happy.
Hell, just spend all day on SD without interruptions.
