heaven?

I have what every mom would love:  A weekend of freedom.

My husband just left for Florida and I am taking the kids to my in-laws for the weekend. 

I know this all sounds like Heaven right?! 

When all this came up initially I was worried, because I had just started a new job and didn't want to pay for a babysitter all day Saturday while I was at work.  I think my in-laws thought they were doing me a huge favor by taking the kids for the weekend.  It is pretty huge that they offer to do this sort of thing but it caught me a bit of guard.  I mean, what am I supposed to do without Brian and the kids?

I can watch what I want on TV.

I can run errands by myself without time limits. 

I don't have to yell at anyone to put underwear on.  This is the most important one. 

In theory this all seems wonderful, but I haven't been by myself in at least 8 or 9 years. 

Literally. 

At least for an extended period of time.  And mostly if I was by myself I was grocery shopping or running a quick errand, not alone for the weekend with only my life to think about and plan. 

Its just weird and I don't do weird well. 



I have even tried to book on ENTIRE Saturday up at work so it will take up more time until the kids and Brian get home. 


I know.  I'm pathetic.


I am sure it will be a wonderfully nice weekend that I need, but I am still nervous.
