Today was the first day in 8 years where I was home without children and it wasn't a work day (as in a paid work day). It was a strange feeling but a good one! I had a long list of things to do which didn't all get done but I made a good dent in it. It's so weird not having someone vying for your attention all day. When I sat down for my 10:30 coffee (you can pretty much set your clock by that) there was no one interrupting me! How liberating!!
There are things that I'll miss about Xavi not being home - spontaneous cuddles, his funny little ways, someone to bake with, going to the park, my little cleaning helper.....
There are things I won't miss - tantrums, whinging, constant 'I'm hungry', having to pack the DS & snacks to get a coffee out that only lasts 5mins, Xavi attacking Indie, mess, mess, mess, having to get ready to leave for school pick up 30mins early to allow for the tantrum and dragging of feet....
I am sure there are more but you get the point.
I feel ready for this new stage (Xavi has decided he isn't and has cried going to school every day since the first) I am glad I am working an extra day - even though I feel stressed off my head with things I need to do at the moment - I would go crazy being in this house every day (being a clean/neat freak is not my thing).
It will take some getting used to but I like it so far....tomorrow I am going to go to the Post Office without having to say 'no you can't have that' 20million times!!! Thrilling I know!
