Me Time...

Aaron is half-way done with Nursing School, in Salt Lake slang: halle-freakin'-lujah! He is so excited to have a summer with no clinicals, patient care-plans, study groups, tests, and overall school stress. To kick off the summer, he booked a flight to see his family in Oregon this week. It just so happens to fall on Mothers Day weekend so with his family dying to see adorable Isabelle, it turned into a "mothers 'free' day" for me, or rather a mother-free week! Without my attention towards my husband and toddler, I've had oodles of me-time, it's been great! I have vowed to not use the measuring cups for anything, not crack open the recipe box, never make the bed, only cook things from the freezer, visit a local restaurant I've been wanting to try with a book as my company. The book part has now been completed as I got Stephenie Meyer's new book "The Host" today. I've done a few home projects I'm proud of with my time, a little shopping, teaching of course, attended a students' solo recital, planned a girls movie night which was a blast, slept in, taken extremely long showers at whatever time I want, gotten ahead on some summer scheduling needs for my studio, and I still have 3 more days off of motherhood-what will I do next? That's the best part, I don't know!
