The Man just walked out the door. He bundled up Clara and Ben in coats and packed snacks and sippy cups while I was blow drying my hair. He nagged Brandon, and Allie and one of her friend's to get their shoes and coats while I was rummaging through sweaters to wear. Then he corralled all 5 kids out to the minivan to take them out to dinner leaving me here, sitting at the computer. To say I am thankful wouldn't do it justice. I am beholden, but even more so, I am smitten. There is something about a man that will take 5 kids out to dinner without batting an eye.
And in a few moments I will grab my small purse and get in the small car and go meet two girlfriends for wine and Hibachi.
But right now I going to sit here and savor this deliciously foreign experience of being here, in my own home, alone.

i LOVE being in my house alone. So much so that if my husband is home from work during the day I am often grouchy. Get out of my space, this is MY time!
There IS something about a man who will take five kids out to dinner without batting an eye!! What a guy!!
I hope you enjoyed your quiet time, and your night out!
I don't know what it is like to be in my own home alone, it is such a rare occasion.
Enjoy your evening, and can your Hubby maybe teach mine a thing or two?
I haven't been alone in...well, about five and a half months.
But I love my little boy, he's so worth it.
Hope you had a great night!
