No, really! I DO have a life! I have proof! Here’s a picture of me having a good time with my friend Jo at the Indigo Girls Concert last Thursday.
See? I really can have a good time, even when I’m away from the kidderoonies. Truthfully, I spent most of my time there daydreaming about what my kids were doing, and I’m not sure if that’s sweet or pathetic, but that’s me now, right?
Suffice it to say, a good time was had by all, and it was nice to have a night out with the girls. Maybe I won’t wait until next year’s Indigo Girls Concert to have another night out. We’ll see. My next goal is to have another "date night" with Seth, but hopefully this one won’t be quite the disaster of the last one.
Lots of people tell me I should just get up and go out, but I just don’t work that way. I honestly don’t WANT to leave them with someone else. I worked hard to get to where I am in my parent status, and I’d much rather be homebound for a few years than leave them in the company of others. I don’t yearn for time away. While I enjoyed the concert, I spent nearly the entire time thinking of my four children. Believe me, I’m not desperate to be away from them. I know that my time will come soon enough. I know that in a blink of an eye, I will wonder where this time went.
