Relief

It has been four days since I delivered the girls to Girl Scout Camp and I am feeling a bit guilty that I am not really missing them very much. What does that say about me?!?!   Some if it is the beauty of the extra freedom; not having to punch a time clock and race around trying to get everyone where they need to go. Some of it is the delicious leisure of lying around in bed for hours just reading a book.. or popping in on an Aqua Zumba class just because I can, but honestly.. that is only a small part of it. The real difference is that it has been such a refreshing relief to not have to lock my bedroom door behind me every time I leave it. Everything I have put down has been exactly where I left it when I went back to get it and after grocery shopping this week I actually put food away in the cupboards.. I feel like I just got my freedom back after a long-term confinement, and I am loving the peace. It is sad that I have to wait until my girls are away to feel this level of peace in our home :(
