Live Blogging from First Weekend Alone in Forever

I have been away from the kids and husband before, but always because I had somewhere to go and something to do. This is my first conscious effort at arranging a weekend at home, alone. Of course my mother in law is still down the hall. Would it be wrong if I asked her not to speak to me all weekend so that I can further maintain my illusion of being alone? What the heck am I going to do with over 24 hours of freedom?

7:56 a.m. They pulled out of the drive way and I managed to get tears in my eyes. I am sure I will get over it.

7:58 a.m. I get online with my coffee and come straight here. I am contemplating what it means that THIS is what I am doing first thing. Of course though, I do have an addiction to caffeine and internet that I must submit to this early in the morning.
