You know what I truly crave? It’s not a glass of wine, a quick nap, or even a night out with friends. What I really want is solitude. The kind of solitude where I can step outside my front door and experience a few blissful hours of child-free freedom. And what do I want to do with that precious time?
I want to tackle all those tasks that normally take ages and send me spiraling into frustration simply because I have little ones with me all day long.
During my alone time, I dream of driving to the mall without the chaos of kids bickering or wailing in the backseat. No more glaring at the rearview mirror or issuing vague threats to restore some semblance of calm. I’ll park wherever I please, unbothered by the need to prevent my kindergartner from executing ninja kicks or bolting through the parking lot.
And what’s next? I’ll stroll right into a hair salon and request a haircut. I’d gladly wait for 35 minutes while leafing through old issues of People magazine. Just the thought of waiting in peace without children is pure bliss.
Then, I’ll saunter over to Old Navy or The Gap—wherever people buy jeans these days. I’ll ask for the fitting room and try on as many pairs of jeans as I want! No toddlers to chase or bribe! No embarrassing questions from my kindergartner about why my underwear is elastic.
Speaking of which, next stop is the overpriced underwear store. I’ll browse and maybe even buy some fancy underwear that no mom with small kids has the time to consider. Will this impulse purchase convince my partner to gift me more days like this?
After that, I’ll swing by Starbucks and order a coffee without hearing little voices begging for overpriced juices or sweets. I might even enjoy my coffee right there, surrounded by absolute tranquility. Can you imagine?
I’ll make a phone call (gasp!) and chat for more than 30 seconds without interruptions from children running amok. I’ll express myself freely, sprinkling in some colorful language without a care in the world.
I might even take the scenic route home and spontaneously visit a friend because I can!
Upon returning home, I’ll indulge in the longest, hottest shower known to mothers everywhere. No little ones trying to join me or demanding my attention with their cries. I’ll pamper myself with a sugar scrub and actually shave my legs!
And to top off my indulgent day, I’ll relish cleaning the house. What usually takes all day will only take an hour without kids trailing behind me creating new messes.
For dinner, I’ll feast on carbs. For dessert, I’ll enjoy a glass of wine. The rest of the evening will be spent sprawled out on the couch, watching TV without having to leap up to investigate any mysterious splashes coming from the dining room.
Finally, I’ll drift off to sleep for a glorious nine uninterrupted hours. Now, if only I could get my partner on board with this plan. Wish me luck!
