So this is what it's like to be alone?

Really people. I couldn't tell you the last time I was alone for more the an hour or two. It just doesn't fit into our schedule. So as my plane landed in Miami and I picked up my rental car, I couldn't help but feel there was something missing. I had all my bags, my wallet, my cell phone, all my reservation information, etc. etc... I finally realized that the fact that I did not have a child attached to my hip or hand made me feel a little incomplete. Now while I do miss my children terribly it was like a little slice of heaven to go to the pool this afternoon, pull up a lounge chair and plug in my iPod. And there wasn't even alcohol involved. I'm ever so slightly pink and starting to really mentally recharge. And that's a beautiful thing.
