I'm lost but free!

My kids are on a trip with the grandparents and I am absolutely lost. I am not sure what to do with myself. I thought about going to the pool and laying out ALL BY MYSELF and taking this book I have been wanting to read forever called Night by Elie Wiesel. I also have the Mark of The Lion Trilogy I could finish. Or I could go curl up in my bed and watch The Constant Gardner, a movie I rented from Blockbuster online, but have yet to watch. I could paint my toenails, my fingernails and I could take a long bath. Oh and what about cleaning? My house is pretty clean but I could clean more or do laundry. I could bake, but I can always bake, even when the kids are here.

Usually when the kids are gone, we have plans or we are out of town. This time, nothing is going on. You know that feeling when you go in somewhere without the diaper bag? You know how you feel strange/naked without it? This is how I am feeling. It's weird to have all this freedom. Soooooooooo weird.

But, I am going to enjoy every bit of it and connect with my husband for the next four days. I am looking forward to doing NOTHING but laying in bed late, making homemade waffles and watching movies. Maybe we can go fishing. That would be fun for both of us.

Okay, I think I'm going to the pool with my ipod and maybe a book! I've got the afternoon to mess around and do nothing before rehearsal with the band tonight and running with Heidi. (By the way, the running is going great!)
