Went to the gym tonight after the kids were in bed. I've been saying for two months now that I was going to do that, especially since Leah and Ian seem to be unimpressed with me leaving them in the babysitting room. The first time I tried it they screamed for 10 minutes straight until I heard myself called over the loudspeaker to come and get them. So since then I've usually only gone on Saturday mornings while Millie is in her class and Hal can look after the little guys.

It felt SOOOOO good to be out of the house BY MYSELF. There was no one calling for Mommy. No phones to answer. No one wanting a drink, a snack, or to drool or climb on me. One of the things I love about this Y is their "cardio theater". I watched three different tv shows at the same time and didn't have anyone complaining that they didn't want to watch what I was watching.

And the rest, well... I was going to write about it, but not tonight. I'm choosing to enjoy the feeling of having accomplished something, no matter how insignificant it may have been.
