45 minutes all to myself fell into my lap today. Usually on Wednesdays after normal working hours, I have a mandatory faculty meeting to attend.
But today, it was cancelled. James had to stay at school for his meeting, which was not cancelled, and since we leave together this meant I needed to wait for him.
So there it was, 45 minutes.
To myself.
I could have graded papers. I could have created next week's meal plan.
But instead I indulged in a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte and watched the newest episode of Parenthood.
By myself.
And it was wonderful.
Often as working mothers, we don't let the me time happen. We think about what could get done in that 45 minutes and let those rare moments of me time pass us by.
But what if every once in a while we indulged.
Today I did and It was great.
