Full of possibilities!
Posted on September 15, 2008
I hate dropping Chloe off for school, especially as she is clinging to me begging me to take her with me, but I am a little excited about what this means for my Mondays. You don’t realize how precious free time is until it is taken away!
I think I will have to come up with some plan of action though. I have way too many options and it took me awhile today to decide what I wanted to do. I started laundry, thinking that would take most of the morning, but then I decided to run to Target to look for a Halloween costume for Chloe. Unfortunately, not even I can spend two and half hours in Target. I ended up going to the party store, Staples, and the craft store, before I finally gave up trying to “kill time” and I went to sit outside Chloe’s school.
I felt kind of a like a loser helicopter mom who doesn’t know what to do with herself when her kid’s not around. (Which is, kind of, what I was.) Next week I’ll do better. I hope.
You could take a good book to a coffee shop. I always found that I could get errands run while I had a few hours free. Costco, grocery store, etc.
It always takes me several free days to get used to having the time again, then it starts to go too quickly.
Enjoy your freedom!!
