My days of freedom have slipped by and I am in the final moments of my alone time. My husband and children are on their way home. As I sit here, enjoying the silence of the moment, I realize that my house has not been this clean since my oldest son was born. In a matter of minutes, backpacks, balls, electronics, stuffed animals, dirty clothes and wet swim suits will invade this space and my life will return to its normal chaos.

Although I must admit I will be glad to see them, I am very grateful for this time. My mind and body have reset allowing for renewed energy to manage the realities of marriage and parenthood. Ladies, we need this. Time alone is more therapeutic than any pill the doctor can prescribe and more effective than even the best bottle of wine. The last few days have offered a perfect way to restore the soul and prepared me to sincerely welcome my family home.
