So, the little ones were at their grandparents' house last night. It was a quiet evening, with a quiet morning. They're going to stay with my mom for the day.
I'm going to Denver to pick up a friend at the airport- a 2 hour drive with just me. I can recharge my batteries, with nobody "needing" me for anything. I can go at my own speed, get some errands done, and get some alone time.
Odd. I don't feel that way. I want the day to be over, and I want to be back with my children. It's strange- what I thought would be a chance to relax is actually very stressful. Then, it dawned on me. I don't need to be away from my children to recharge. Being away from them, I find myself listless, lethargic, purposeless... I need to be around them, around their energy, their vitality. THAT'S what fuels me, recharges me, renews me.
