Thank God for grandparents!!!! My wonderful parents, those brave souls, are keeping their very active, very curious, and very feisty nearly 2-year-old granddaughter this week. My husband and I are so enjoying this time to rest, reconnect, and FREEDOM!!! I love being a mother, but its nice not to have to rush off work to get to the daycare before it closes at 6 p.m. They charge you $1 each minute you are late! And they want cash! I didn’t realize how much I missed being able to come home and just relax reading the paper without someone screaming “ELMO! Pets!” at you or begging for juice. And more importantly, the husband and I can get busy anywhere and anytime we want. No waiting til the baby is sleep, which is when I’m ready to go to sleep myself. Although I really miss my little one, this is definitely a much needed break where my husband and I can get refreshed and remember why it was we got married and had kids in the first place.
