time for myself

Having Friday off has been a good thing for me today. Time to be within the walls of my home with no guests, no children, nothing to do except take care of it and me. Taking care of my home feels akin to taking care of myself because I enjoy decorating and keeping things nice. After having been through almost two years of full-time school, I haven't been able to enjoy too many days like today. I realize as the day winds down that I miss being home. There is something to be said for becoming a teacher. I love it. But there is also something to be said for all the time I get to be home caring for my family, my house, and me. There is too much for one person to do alone, so I do invite close friends into my quiet time, and it couldn't be more perfect.

Now, it is time to prepare for a girls' night out because I am so way ready to get out of this house!
