Off to school!

Its a rainy morning and I just got home from dropping Taylor off at Preschool. He is going 2 days a week this year. This is his second time to go and he did brilliantly. Not even a tear, just a hug and a kiss and off he went to play. I have to say that I am trying to not be the crazy mom that obsesses about her child and going to school. Last year he had a bit of a rough start to school which it made me feel retched like I was deserting him. But to my amazment he is doing great so far. So today will be the first time that he stays all the way through nap time. Fingers crossed!
I was got home and realized that I really don't "have" to go anywhere or do anything till this afternoon. It is a very strange concept for me. Because I never really have any free time to myself anymore after Taylor was born. My days are usually mapped out by when I have to work, when I have to leave the house to take Taylor were he needs to go so I can go to work, leaving work and picking Taylor up from where ever he is. So the idea that I could actually just sit on the couch or watch t.v. or both undisturbed it a bit mind boggling. But because of my usually busyness I really cant make myself just sit and do nothing. And part of that is my ADD which makes me really just want to keep doing stuff. But even having the option to do nothing is quite nice. So I will enjoy the free time while it lasts cause if there comes a time when I have a second kid then pretty sure that will be gone.
Even just a few hours of silence does wonders for my soul!!
