I don't want to get rid of the kids, I really don't. I love having them all to myself and getting to do all sorts of fun stuff all the time, going to the beach, road trips, sleeping in! When they go back to school, I will get that sense of normalcy and routine back. And I love routine! Especially when it comes to routine alone time for me! Not only that, but I will have time to clean the house, which we all know I haven't been doing. Not that I care all that much, but I do like a clean house. I want to complete the laundry in a day, not 5. I want time to get actual groceries and not just live on what we have and try to make meals out of that all the time. I want to cook supper again. I know that doesn't sound like me, but I have had a lot of take out recently and I'm feeling a bit gross and bloated.
Routine is so nice, you know what is on the schedule for the next day, you have time to prepare for things. I feel like I am just winging it a lot of the time. That is so not like me. I like plans and schedule. I have a list of all the things I want to do this fall. I love my little projects. My master bedroom needs paint, I have to fix the paint job in my sons room, I can get rid of more crap that litters my house. Not to mention that I can't wait to get back to the gym where I can strap on my ipod and ignore people. I want to have a meal by myself, read a book in a few days instead of a month.
I used to get so upset when the kids went back to school, but now, I know that they have to, and I am ok with it. They are both in full time school, I have no job and I am just thrilled with my life. I enjoy the kids while I have them and I enjoy my freedom when I don't. Life just doesn't get much better than this.
