Home is wherever I'm with you (but it's nice if sometimes you are not here too

Beau just took AB to Mom's Morning Out. Do you know what this means? I am sitting in my own house BY MYSELF!!! I don't know what to do first: run around naked, take a nap, blast some music, meditate? 

Truthfully I only have about 45 minutes before I have to be out the door and on to the next activity but I had to sit here and churn out a quick blog to celebrate this time.

Parents you understand the euphoria that comes from an empty home especially if, like Beau and I, you live far from family. There is no grandma that lives around the corner that can whisk my daughter away for the afternoon or evening. And rightfully so a babysitter would be weirded out if I suggested dropping AB off at her house to spend the day.

So these moments are few, far between and highly cherished. I love my family desperately but there is something to be said for a few moments of solitude in your own home.
