What Will I Do With All This Free Time?
Am I the only one that feels like I live in my car lately?
I have had other moms say they welcome the respite of summer. They enjoy days spent lounging by the pool and the fact that they don’t have to run their kids to school, after-school practices, soccer games, dance classes, etc. Maybe it’s just because I have a son who attends therapies to help him walk better and talk better and catch up with his peers, but I am always on the road or in an appointment. There aren’t many days where we just relax.
That being said, my three year old will start back to preschool later this month and my two year old will start Mother’s Day Out two days a week. Looking at the schedule that will leave me about two hours on Tuesdays and about two hours on Thursdays where I am completely alone without my sweet kiddos. What on earth will I do with all of this time? Anytime I procure a little time like this, I always seem to wander around like a lost puppy. While shopping, it just feels weird to not be wrestling two wiggly boys or constantly stopping to retrieve sippy cups that have been launched from the stroller. I love having them with me, so taking me time is a bit difficult. I know it is much needed though. It always refreshes me when I actually do it.

Am I the only parent that feels this way? I know parents who go to the gym and go to get massages and manicures and pedicures. I think maybe I should jump on that train. What do you think?
