For the past 12 years, my life has been characterized by constant companionship—between my children, pets, and my vivid imagination, I have seldom found myself alone. However, in just one week, everything is set to change.
With the start of the school year, my kids will finally step into a classroom. While this may seem routine for many parents, for me, it is genuinely exhilarating. After eight years of exclusively homeschooling, this marks a significant milestone in our journey.
We are transitioning to a hybrid homeschooling approach, where the children will attend a unique educational setting a couple of days a week, mingling with peers who share similar experiences. They will engage in learning surrounded by other children who understand the joys of studying in whimsical attire (yes, it’s true!).
On one hand, I am thrilled for my children and the enriching experiences that await them. On the other hand, I am equally excited for myself. The prospect of having hours—actual hours—of solitude is almost surreal. What will I do with this newfound freedom?
To celebrate this momentous occasion, I’ve devised a lunch plan just for me:
- Dining Out: Imagine enjoying lunch at a cozy diner, free from the distractions of coloring sheets and crayons. I can savor a meal in peace, perhaps even catching up on my phone without needing to share it. Plus, no kid’s menus required!
- Culinary Creations at Home: Alternatively, I could whip up meals that I genuinely enjoy. Picture baked garlic brussels sprouts paired with spiced sauerkraut, accompanied by gluten-free pumpernickel and thinly sliced roast beef topped with provolone. Ah, the joy of culinary freedom!
- Solo Picnic: Just think about heading to the park with a book to read—actually reading the words uninterrupted. The sheer thought is delightful!
- A Trip to the Pub: How about visiting a local pub to watch a soccer match while indulging in lettuce-wrapped lamb burgers and crispy steak fries? A refreshing Sam Adams on the side would make it even better.
- Lunch in Bed: Perhaps I’ll finally manage to finish an entire episode of my favorite show while enjoying a bag of Doritos and a Stewart’s Orange Creme soda. That sounds like bliss.
These upcoming solitary lunches promise to be a refreshing change.
