Freedom!!!!

....for a couple hours at least.

Since having Bryce, I don't really get time to myself. Granted, I expected this, but it doesn't hurt to wish/hope for it, does it??

Well, my time FINALLY came on Saturday when I was able to go out to lunch with a high school friend. (I had the boys and went grocery shopping that morning with them while Todd was at a service project. I was really looking forward to lunch by the time I was done with it all.) I was kid-less and husband-less. Not that I don't love them dearly - because I do!! - but it's nice to just get out with no one in tow and relax/unwind/enjoy the time/be free and independent. It was so enjoyable. I was only gone a couple hours, but hey, that's a couple more hours than none at all, so I'll take it!

Well, I guess I had my alone time so Todd wanted some of his own. He ended up going out to the 10p showing of GI Joe, which sucked, according to him.

While I was gone, the kids were asleep - so not too much work there for Todd. When Todd left, both boys were still awake and showed no signs of fatigue. So, I put in Monsters, Inc. for Kayden because he's been wanting to watch it. Then popped some popcorn for us and sat down with Bryce and Kayden and vegged. Kayden watched the whole thing from start to finish without losing interest. That doesn't happen very often, but I think it was because this was the 1st time he saw it.

Anyway - it was a nice, little, sort of family night. Then, the movie ended so I put Kayden to bed and then fed Bryce and put him down. Once everyone else was taken care of, I quickly got ready and hopped in bed. I was pooped and not feeling so great, so the nice, comfy bed was very welcomed.

All in all, the freedom was nice, but family is the best!!! (Although, I still want some tastes of freedom from time to time.)
