The EX has Betsy all weekend, so I’m free of most responsibility this weekend. Today was spent very lazily. I read, I napped. The TV remained off so no Yo Gabba Gabba or Olivia has invaded my psyche or given me any earworms.

And despite my headache today, thanks to the changing weather (seriously, does anyone else get these horrific headaches when the weather changes? It’s like the air pressure is squeezing my head in a vise!) I realize that this weekend will be exactly what I need. Quiet alone time today, tonight and tomorrow filled with talking, laughing, eating and drinking, and also a trip to the movies to see Going the Distance, and then Betsy comes home on Sunday.

School starts for Betsy on Tuesday, and this will be the first time she goes five days week, so I’m a little nervous about how she’ll do, but I think she can handle it. The question is – can I handle it? Five days a week of cranky morning Betsy, making a lunch and rushing her out the door? I hope we both survive the first week.

I hope you all out there have a fun and/or relaxing long weekend. Eat, drink and be merry!
