The angst of freedom.
I am sitting down. One child is at school. One child is sleeping. I am not chasing a child while at home for the first time since I can’t remember when.
I am almost overwhelmed. This small window of free time is nearly panic-inducing. What to do with such a tiny window? There is dinner to cook and laundry to switch. There are phone calls to make. Toys to put away. It is almost easier when I have no free time and I am not sitting, frozen, unsure of which of the 3 gazillion things on my list to start doing.
But the best part? This scenario may repeat itself tomorrow, if Gloria naps while Frances is at school.
It is almost too much to think about.
