Great Post Keri! I think Mommy alone time is sooooooo important! It keeps us sane, keeps us going and keeps us totally in love with our family! Isn't it funny how now alone time is spent cleaning, driving in a car, getting groceries etc. It doesn't matter, as long as I'm alone, it's glorious!!!!! Oh, and LOVED your highschool references!!! I could never remember you from highschool... (I mean I have always known you since I was a wee one... but couldn't remember the highschool Keri), until this post. "oh ya, I totally remember Keri in her plaid" haha. I always remember my Pre- family life with fondness... however, every time I try and relive it... I always regret it (usually due to an extreme hangover) but I remember how happy and thankful I am for my family life now!
