Zak and I were running around, doing some errands yesterday while the kids were gone.
We came home to grab something to eat and we had to go back to the store to pick up a prescription.
It was about 3:10pm and our conversation goes like this….

me. "hey babe….I think I'm gonna go get Ben now instead of waiting until 4pm. I miss him."
Zak "whaaat??"
me. "yeah, I know…this is what I've been waiting for and here I am wanting to go get him. I'm a wussy, I know."
Zak "Yeah you are."

And so I drive Zak back to work and go get Ben. I have him staying at daycare until 4pm now because I pay for full time and have never used her full time. I usually drop him off at 9am and get him at around 3pm. During the summer he stayed on Wednesdays until 4:30pm. So I am using his daycare a little more now.
And I just missed him.
Doesn't matter that 5 minutes in the door I was yelling at him because he was pretending to spill my coffee, I still missed him.
Had to go get him.
Just because.

Here's a pic of my handsome little boy.

Love him so much.
Even though he drives me so crazy…I'm having to "adjust" to this later day, home alone, kids gone thing.

Weird.

    Oh hun, it’s way too early for empty nest syndrome! I can’t say I know what you feel cause we all know I’m kid deficient but I can imagine it’s very strange. Chin up young one….

    It IS weird! But it is nice to know when other mom’s feel the same way. Kind of makes me feel more “normal” in my weirdness…ha!
