Since the start of my relationship, I have not spent a single night home alone without the kids. It has happened in other spaces, but here in our home, never. Now we have the sweet taste of freedom for a little while and man does it feel good. I’m just settling into the idea of being able to feel free and relaxed at home and not have to be concerned about anyone but the lady (and the pets, I suppose). It allows us to create a new rhythm in the house, get stuff done, and just feel like we can do what we want in the space without worrying over kids. I love the thought of this and in practice it is pretty chill even in the first few hours.
Some Thoughts:
- Planned to write from 8-12 today. Didn’t. I think It will be more of an 12-3 deal for me. I’m not quite prepared to sink into it and I want some more time feeling out the space with the lady and doing a little more me time. I need to put in the word time today. I’ve graded a considerable amount since the early dawn, but the words… the words need their comeuppance.
