Childless Weekend

I have two wonderful children, Victoria and Johnny, whom I absolutely adore. Actually I have three because I count Gabriel too. But for now I get to see Tori and Johnny Friday afternoon through Sunday night. I have always been close with my children and have been there primary caregiver mostly since after Johnny was born and there mom distanced herself from us. When we separated I honestly thought it was a situation where they were coming with me, but it turned out otherwise. Since the separation there mom has completely turned around and has become the mother that they needed. I am extremely happy for that. I miss them terribly through the week and look forward to seeing them every Friday. However this Friday is Angie's birthday and she has asked to keep them for the weekend. At first I was a little sad at not seeing them, but then the though of a childless weekend started twirling in my head. I look at it as a chance to do things that I normally can't do. I have already made plans to go out with the girls from work, since they are always inviting me and I always turn them down because of my situation. I am looking forward to going out for margaritas and dancing and just having fun. Sometimes I forget that it's ok to have a little fun just for me. Its stems from my relationship with Angie and is something that I am working on fixing inside of me and am having very good progress with. I give most of this credit to Shar who has helped me to realize that it is totally ok to have me time. So here is to "me time" everbuddy. Its ok to take it. ^.^
